Imran links Karachi peace to depoliticising police

MULTAN: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has linked Karachi peace with appointments in police department on merit.

Addressing a public rally in Multan on Friday, Khan said, “Peace in the port city cannot be restored until appointments in police department be made on merit.”

PTI chief said that bringing peace in Karachi is not the job of Rangers but that of police.

Imran also alleged that political interference is also present in the Punjab police department, adding that without clearance from Raiwand, no police officer gets promotion.

He added that without recommendations from any influential person, recruitment is not made in the Punjab police.
