Sindh [Pakistan], January 20 (ANI): As many as five people have been killed in an armed attack on a village in Ghotki in Pakistan's Sindh province, ARY News reported, citing the police.
The police said that unidentified armed men attacked the Jam Bajar village leaving five dead, two injured.
The incident is a result of an ongoing feud between two clans, according to the police. "The accused had attacked a Bethak (meeting place) in the village," the police said.
As per ARY News, lawlessness prevails in Ghotki and other districts of upper Sindh owing to geographic proximity with the katcha area (riverine forests) infamous for criminal activities of bandit gangs patronised by tribal chieftains and influentials.
The riverine forests in Sindh and the southern belt of Punjab have historically remained a hotbed of bandit gangs involved in kidnappings for ransom and other crimes on both banks of the Indus River.
These areas are inaccessible and virtually a 'no-go area' for police and other law enforcement agencies. So as to remain an ideal refuge for the fugitives and bandit gangs operating in the region, according to ARY News. (ANI)

MEA rejects Pakistan’s statement on India-Canada deal

"We reject this statement made by Pakistan on the matter. India's credentials regarding non-proliferation are impeccable and well recognised by the global community. A country with a well-documented history of clandestine nuclear proliferation can hardly preach the virtues of export controls and proliferation risks. Such ludicrous statements are nothing more than an attempt by Pakistan to distract from its own abysmal record," he said.
