"textContent": "\n\n\nKarachi’s turbulent 1990s resurface as firsthand accounts shed light on a sweeping security crackdown, marked by alleged extrajudicial killings, escalating violence and a deepening power struggle between state forces and political groups.\n\nThe report revisits the 1994 operation in Karachi, exploring the law enforcement campaign launched to curb militancy and restore order in a city plagued by no-go areas and daily target killings.\n\nThrough accounts from journalists and police officials who witnessed the period, it examines the competing narratives surrounding the operation - whether it was a necessary step to stabilize the city or a politically driven campaign with lasting consequences.",
