The loss of lives of the innocent citizens [of Karachi] should stop immediately, said Nawaz.

The PML-N president also urged the government to take stern action against elements involved in disturbing peace in the city.

Talking to Sunni Tehrik Pakistan chief Sarwat Ejaz Qadri who called him earlier on Saturday, Nawaz said elements responsible for the situation law and order situation in Karachi deserved no leniency and should be dealt with an iron fist.
