Furthermore, MQM-P members accused PPP government of issuance of arms licenses to people in province, resulting in raise in violent activities, including incidents of kidnapping for ransom and targeted killings, in metropolis. MQM-P also pointed fingers at PPP for allegedly supporting gang wars under guise of Aman committees in areas like Lyari and other slums of Karachi during 2012 and 2013. They asserted that those who did not comply with Aman committee condition were met with lethal consequences.

Regarding Sindh police, MQM-P members argued that instead of focusing on law enforcement, PPP ministers have politicised and corrupted police force. They demanded thorough scrutiny of all police recruitments made in past 15 years.
