| 2010-05-31 |
| [Geo News] Federal Interior Minister Rehman A Malik said the terrorists could not enervate the government of Pakistan, as it would bear down upon the havoc-wreaking assassins in concert with the entire nation for the national integrity, Geo News reported Sunday. Talking to media while on visit to the worshipping place of the Qadianis here, he said the anti-Pakistan forces which were defeated in Fata and Swat, have unleashed their activities in Punjab. The interior minister added the outfits like Laskhkar-e-Jhangavi and Jaish-e-Muhammed were part to Al-Qaieda and on receiving training, they were busy with sabotage activities in Punjab. The federal minister said at least 1764 people of banned 29 groups belonged to Punjab, adding the terrorists holed up in Southern Punjab, were making appearances now and that he spotted them to have links even in Balochistan as well. Malik said, 'I am here not to grapple with the Punjab government; instead, we hand in hand, will put to an end the terrorism.' The confident minister appealed on the occasion to Punjab Chief Minister to make public the inquiry report on Gojra Tragedy. The Interior Minister informed that the government is bringing a bill in connection with the rights accorded to the minorities enshrined in the Constitution. |
