Interior Minister Syed Faisal Saleh Hayat has said the people who are criticizing the operations for the arrest of people involved in terrorist activities are rendering no service to the nation.
| Depends on which nation you're talking about. It's a definite service to the caliphate... |
"Those who criticise should at first see how much destruction those people have created in the country against whom operation is being carried out", the Minister told BBC. Those who have to criticise may do that but so far as national security is concerned there will be no compromise of any kind. "We are not prepared to listen to them", he added. The critics ought to see how these people have undermined the very infrastructure of civilization in the country. If somebody is making such criticism he is not rendering any service to Pakistan and his loyalty to Pakistan becomes doubtful, he added. He said the government has clearly stated that people involved in terrorist activities are extremist groups and a war is going against those very people.
| Guess it depends on which side you're on... |
Faisal said many people behind the attack on President Musharraf were arrested and on their identification many other people have been arrested. Perhaps in future some more people will be arrested. He said the people arrested so far belong to various organizations and it is premature to confirm their exact affiliation. His attention was drawn to a statement on behalf of government that all those arrested are local people the Minister said, when people are arrested they tell their identity. Sometimes it so happened that this proved wrong. Therefore, it will not be reasonable at this stage to say with certainty that they are Pakistanis, he added. "Unless the investigations are complete we shall not be able to divulge their identity with certainly, he maintained. So far as outside people are concerned it is a certainty, because now a days terrorism is a world phenomenon. It is not limited only to Pakistan and its links go to various countries, he said.
| Yeah. HUJI's Burma branch makes it really interesting. |
