Minister
for Interior Rehman(Shaitan) Malik has said that there was information of
serious terrorist attacks in Karachi next month, warning that if the port city
was ‘detached from the country’ the government as well as the intelligence
agencies would be responsible.
Talking
to the media here outside the Parliament House on Monday, the federal minister
said that the enemies across the border had planned to carry out a massacre in
the economic hub of the country. The intelligence and law enforcement agencies
had been asked to remain vigilant and play a proactive role to thwart any such
move, as their job was not just confined to passing on information about any
possible threats.
“There
are some anti-state elements in the country that intend to destabilise Pakistan,”
the minister added. It is the core responsibility of every citizen to work
together for the betterment of the country and especially to play a role in
maintaining law and order, he said.
He
said it was meaningful that there was no terrorist act whenever the cellular
phone service was suspended.
To
a question, Malik said the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz and other parties were
not holding any long march or sin-in in Islamabad. He said that he had talked
to them and they had conveyed to him that they would only accompany some
leaders from Karachi in their walk from the Parliament House to the Election
Commission Headquarters to register a protest on the delimitation issue. He
said it would be a peaceful walk and security would be provided to the
participants.
Malik
said the government was ready to provide security to former ambassador Husain
Haqqani whenever he returned to the country to appear before the Supreme Court.
To
another question, Rehman(Shaitan) Malik said he had asked the relevant
authorities to take steps for installation of filtration system at the earliest
so that YouTube could be unblocked.
