US govt must take action against Mansoor Ijaz: Malik
[Dawn] Minister for Interior Rehman MalikPak politician, current Interior Minister under the Gilani administration. Malik is a former Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) intelligence officer who rose to head the FIA during Benazir Bhutto's second tenure. He later joined the Pak Peoples Party and was chief security officer to Bhutto. Malik was tossed from his FIA job in 1998 after documenting the breath-taking corruption of the Sharif family. By unhappy coincidence Näwaz Shärif became PM at just that moment and Malik moved to London one step ahead of the button men. Monday said that the United States government must take action against Mansoor Ijaz for violating US laws and issuing false statements against the armed forces and against Pakistain's leadership. Regarding Ijaz's statements of the country's leadership and Haqqani's knowledge of the Abbottabad ... A pleasant city located only 30 convenient miles from Islamabad. The city is noted for its nice weather and good schools. It is the site of Pakistain's military academy, which was within comfortable walking distance of the residence of the late Osama bin Laden.... operation, Malik said the US had itself admitted that the Pak government and Haqqani were not aware of the operation so the US must take action against Ijaz for giving false statements. "Pakistain has always been asked to do more but it is time for the US to take action against the person who is violating its laws by misguiding the international community," Malik told media representatives after a meeting at the Interior Ministry on the law and order situation during Muharram. All the information related to Ijaz has been collected and the Interpol would be approached for further investigation. Malik said that from the very beginning Ijaz has been changing his stance on the issue. Malik asked the Pakistain Moslem League -- Nawaz (PML-N) to approach the Supreme Court against Ijaz and said the government would extend its support in the matter. Posted by: Fred 2011-12-06 |
