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

He was speaking to media representatives after presiding over high-level meetings with officials dealing with the city's security situation. Mr Malik also met with Sindh Home Minister Manzoor Wassan.
"We will not spare anybody," he said, adding that action against criminals would be taken without any discrimination.
He said that soon those tossed in the slammer would be brought before media representatives to tell their modus operandi and also on whose directions criminal actions took place.
Speaking at the occasion, Mr Wassan said all efforts were being made to bring normality in Bloody Karachi and other parts of Sindh with the help of the federal government.
"About 800 people have been the victims of violent shootings in the last seven months," Zohra Yusuf, chairwoman of the Human Rights Commission of Pakistain (HRCP), told AFP.
The HRCP previously said 490 people were killed in the first six months of the year and on Friday that another 300 people died in July.
"The figures compiled by our staff and the corpse count for the last month confirmed by the police shows the number of victims of violence was not less than 300," Yusuf said.
The government has campaigned to end the festivities and deployed hundreds of additional police and paramilitary forces in the city, but the killings have continued with 58 people reported dead in five days alone this week.
