Operation Clean-up, also known as Operation Blue Fox, was an armed intelligence program and anti-crime operation led by the Sindh Police and Sindh Rangers, with some support from the Pakistan Army and its related-intelligence agencies. It was planned by the FIA, Intelligence Bureau, army and launched the directives of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in 1992. The program was more strictly pursued by upcoming Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto in 1993–1994, as part of her internal policies. Its objective was to cleanse Karachi city of anti-social elements as well as reduce crime such as street crime and gang warfare. The program targeted the Muhajir Qaumi Movement (Altaf) and the Mohajir Qaumi Movement (Haqiqi) over the controversy regarding the alleged plan on having the cities of Karachi and Hyderabad break away from the province of Sindh and be a province itself known as Jinnahpur.
