This is the start of operation in other parts of Sindh apart from Karachi by Rangers. Larkana is the stronghold of the Pakistan People’s Party as it was the hometown of Benazir Bhutto. The current Home Minister Sohail Anwar Siyal also hails from the city.

However, a rift has been initiated between the Rangers and the provincial government. It is expected  that there will be changes in the provincial cabinet as the row is escalating with the paramilitary force.
