SUKKUR, Sept 30: Sindh Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah has said that as a result of the ongoing targeted operations in Karachi targeted killers were fleeing the city, but they were being chased and captured in various parts of the country.

He made these remarks while talking to media men in Sukkur, where he had come to offer Fateha at the Lal Mashaikh graveyard on Sunday. He said conduct of elections was not his job but that of the Election Commission. He said his government was implementing the apex court directives on delimitation.

He assured all parties that nobody would be allowed to rig the local bodies elections. He added there was no justification for the demand to involve the judiciary.

Mr Shah said the Pakistan Muslim League-Functional wanted to escape from local government election as it raised objection to delimitation, though it had remained silent on the 2001 delimitations.

He said it was his desire that peace prevailed not only in Karachi but in whole Sindh, for which the government was doing its best. He said cases were being opened of the police officials who were killed in Karachi.

Meanwhile, the chief minister offered to a four-member delegation of the Pak-UK Chamber of Commerce and Industries, which called on him at the CM House on Monday, that foreign educational institutions, especially from Britain, impart training in language and technical skills to youths in Sindh, adds Our Staff Reporter in Karachi.
