Murad vows not to let bad times return to Karachi, eliminate terrorists from every area.

KARACHI -- While referring to last night's blast in which a 24-year old boy was killed and 10 others were injured, Chief Minister Sindh Syed Murad Ali Shah vowed that the Sindh government would not let the bad times return to Karachi and would track down terrorists in every single area of Karachi to completely eliminate them.

'Even a single murder in the province is unacceptable and cannot be tolerated. I strongly believe that terrorists have no religion or language. They aren't Pakistanis or even humans', he added while speaking at the inauguration ceremony of 17th My Karachi - Oasis of Harmony Exhibition here at the Karachi Expo Center on Friday,

Chief Minister Sindh further stated that after 2013 when the city was ranked on 7th position as the most dangerous cities of the world, peace and stability had returned to Karachi and the city was on a better place in the crime index. The entire nation collectively fought against terrorism.

While praising the leadership of Businessmen Group and paying glowing tribute to Late Siraj Kassam Teli for his commendable contribution, Murad Ali Shah also appreciated all the exhibitors, diplomats and other participants, saying that the exhibition will certainly prove to be fruitful as Karachi is a vibrant city with tremendous potential. 'Today's House full at the Expo Center and the presence of so many diplomats clearly indicates that they all believe in the people of Pakistan and the resilience of the people of Pakistan.'

CM said, 'I know a lot of people won't agree with me but I am saying this from the bottom of my heart that Karachi, which contributes 70 percent to the national exchequer, has the potential to even contribute 90 percent. We want remaining Sindh and Pakistan to develop as well and pay taxes. I belong to Sehwan and would like to see Sehwan developing to such an extent that it also contributes 70 percent revenue'.
