Operation Clean-up, also known as Operation Blue Fox, was an armed military intelligence program led by the Sindh Police and Pakistan Rangers, with an additional assistance from the Pakistan Army and its related intelligence agencies. Planned by the FIA, Intelligence Bureau 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. The program targeted the Muttahida Qaumi Movement over the controversy regarding the alleged plan on having the city of Karachi and Hyderabad break away from the province of Sindh and be a province itself.
