KARACHI is being cleansed of terrorists, corrupt people and inept politicians. Some of them have fled the country others are in Rangers custody and some will be soon in the web of law.

These absentee politicians and their supporters in Pakistan are being exposed, and time is not far when they will be apprehended with proper legal coverage. So far they had been smart in hoodwinking law of the land one way or the other. But at long last sense has prevailed among the country’s custodians to bring them within the ambit of law.

A similar operation is required in other areas of the country. No mercy should be shown to them.
