ISLAMABAD: Interior Minister Rehman Malik has said that he has vowed to bring peace in Karachi.
“Certain
elements claimed that government had failed to establish peace in
Karachi and Karachi should be handed over to the Army. But situation
has changed now and peace stands prevailed therein now. What promise
was made by him has been delivered. We all are brothers and we are
Pakistanis first”, Interior minister said this while talking to media
persons here Saturday after his visit to FIA headquarters.
Rehman
Malik said that he had no personal grudge with Bashir Qureshi, chairman
of JSQM nor he was behind his arrest. If Azhar Bashir Qureshi says so
then the judicial inquiry can be held in this respect, he underlined.
Doors to superior judiciary are also opened to him, he added. More
steps will be initiated to improve the performance of FIA and competent
lawyers will be included in legal branch of FIA, he pointed out. He
indicated that Taliban and other terrorist organisations were sharing
intelligence through Internet. Curbing these activities was imperative,
he observed. Measures will be taken in this connection, he told.
Regarding
investigation into killing of former minister Shahbaz Bhatti he said
two people allegedly involved in his killing were at UEA and government
was in contact with Interpol for their arrest.
Citing to
statement of Maulana Fazlur Rehman he said JUI-F chief had not given
such statement wherein the former had declared him agent of CIA. JUI-F
chief had already clarified his statement, he told. “I am considering
suing against media group which is behind character assassination
campaign against me”, he declared. Online
