MQM-P leader Faisal Subzwari has urged the caretaker government to cancel weapon licenses till the Feb 8 general elections in a bid to control violence.

“The government should place a ban on carrying weapons,” he said while addressing a press conference in Karachi.

“They [PPP leaders] think they can win the elections with the use of weapons,” Subzwari remarked. “You cannot win the hearts of people here by building a few roads.”
