IN KARACHI: Director General (DG) Rangers Major
General Bilal Akbar has warned on Wednesday that no political party would be

declared to observe a ‘protest day’ today against a reported raid on the party
leader Farooq Sattar’s residence on last Tuesday.
“We will provide
complete security to transporters and unruly elements who tried to disrupt the
business activities of Karachi will not be spared,” clarified the DG Rangers.
