ISLAMABAD: Sindh Home Minister Manzoor Wasan on Friday ruled out the need to call the military in Karachi in order to bring the law and order situation under control in the metropolis.

Wassan was speaking to the media in Islamabad before attending a meeting summoned by President Asif Ali Zardari on the situation in Karachi.  The Home Minister said results of the governments' measures for peace in the city will come to the fore.

“Vital decisions will be taken in a meeting chaired by President Asif Ali Zardari”, he added. He said that all political parties in Karachi had a stockpile of weapons and the people to use them, but they were all on the same page when it came to restoring peace in the city.

He said positive results will be seen in the coming days regarding law and order in the city. Wassan maintained that action has been taken against miscreants and arrests had also been made.
