 [Dawn] Interior Minister Rehman MalikPak politician, current Interior Minister under the Gilani administration.

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 Nawaz Sharif became PM at just that moment and Malik moved to London one step ahead of the button men. on Saturday asked Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan to withdraw the 'un-parliamentary remarks' that he had used against the Army and security agencies. In a statement issued on Saturday, Malik said that Chaudhry Nisar should apologize to the country for "insulting the whole nation and the Army" by passing derogatory remarks. The interior minister also said that he would take up the matter in the NA session on Monday requesting to expunge these remarks from proceeding of the house. Posted by: Fred 2012-02-05 |
