Government Willing to Negotiate If Bandits Surrender, Says Sharjeel Memon

Sindh Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon has stated that the bandits should surrender.

He indicated that those not involved in serious crimes would be given an opportunity to surrender, after which the government may engage in talks with them. Memon added that captured bandits should also repent, and they will be given an opportunity.

A joint operation by police and rangers is currently underway in the Katcha area. In a meeting held in Sukkur, chaired by President Asif Ali Zardari, all relevant agencies, including Rangers and police, briefed the President on their performance.

Talking to the media at the media corner of the Sindh Assembly, Sindh Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon stated that in the meeting presided over by President Asif Ali Zardari, it was also decided that reconciliation committees should be formed to address tribal disputes, and that these disputes should be resolved.

He said that innocent lives are lost in tribal disputes, and tribal chiefs will be mobilized to resolve these disputes and guide people on the right path. If drug dealers also repent, the government will offer them concessions. The Sindh government’s policy against drugs is based on zero tolerance.

Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon stated that the message from President Zardari’s meeting is clear: criminals should surrender and engage in dialogue with the government.

The government will not tolerate any abuse against them and will deal with them according to the law. The first meeting with Asif Ali Zardari was also significant regarding drugs and law and order, and the meeting held in Sukkur was particularly important.
