Crackdown launched against 'illegal' MQM offices across Sindh

Sources said the Sindh government has decided to carry out crackdown against the illegal control of the political party over the government lands. The decision in this regard was taken in a high-level meeting in Chief Minister House headed by the CM Sindh.
