Rangers should be given operational powers across Sindh: MQM

The Muttahida Qaumi Movement Pakistan (MQM), an ally of the federal government and the opposition party in the Sindh Assembly, has on Sunday demanded that the Rangers be given operational powers in the entire province of Sindh to establish law and order.
