KARACHI: Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry remarked on Wednesday that there is abundance of arms and ammunition in the entire country.

A three judge bench of the SC was hearing the Karachi law and order implementation case today at its Karachi Registry.

During the proceedings, the Chief Justice expressed his displeasure over the performance of Maritime Security Agency (MSA), Coast Guards and Customs, and said that arms, drugs and other items were being smuggled into the country despite the presence of these agencies that displays their inability to control the crime.

The CJ remarked that arms and weapons are in abundance in the entire country, and that we are on the brink of a volcano.

He continued saying that if all the agencies and the institutions unite, then not a single bullet can enter Karachi.

Justice Jawwad S Khawaja remarked that the agencies should realize their responsibilities instead of catching the Indian fishermen only. He further said that whatever is happening in the country currently, is sheer indifference towards the city and its citizens. (GNN) (Geo) (Yoogle)
