LAHORE, July 14: The Jamaat-i-Islami has opposed military operations in any part of the country, including Karachi.

Speaking at a meeting of party workers here on Thursday, party chief Syed Munawar Hasan said those indulging in arson and damaging public property must be dealt with an iron hand.

He said the MQM should be proceeded against in accordance with the law after the charges against it were proved in courts, adding that neither the government nor the opposition had the right to take the law in their own hand.

He said those killing innocent people in tribal areas to establish the writ of the government were finding themselves helpless in Karachi.
