Summary Despite informal talks both parties remain inflexible over the issue.
KARACHI (Dunya News) – There seems to be no end in sight for Federal and Sindh government’s conflict over the extension of exclusive powers granted to the Rangers.
Sources say that despite informal talks between both the Federation and the Provincial government, both parties remain inflexible over the issue and none of them appears to be prepared on backing down over their demands.
The Sindh government is urging that the power granted to the security agency be limited and should be relaxed.
The Federal Interior Ministry has responded saying that no compromise shall be made on the issue. It further stated that the notification for allowance of extension of powers will be made according to the constitution.
Speaking earlier, the Federal Interior Minister Nisar said that in addition to a targeted operation in Karachi, one is needed in interior Sindh as well. He said that responsibility of maintaining peace lies with provinces also.
