Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani has assured the national assembly that action would be taken and culprits be taken to task, who were involved in the killing of a boy in Karachi.
“Neutral inquiry into the killing of youth by rangers would be carried out”, he said this while responding to Point of Order raised by Pakistan Muslim League (N) Member National Assembly Khawaja Saad Rafique in the National Assembly on Thursday.
It is wrong to blame all people in uniform just because of some, he said, adding that, abusive language must not be used against any institution of the country. Under Article 63 of the Constitution abusive language could not be used against superior judiciary and armed forces, Gilani said. Earlier, Speaking on his Point of Order, PML-N MNA Khawja Saad Rafique demanded the government to register a case against officials of Rangers under terrorism act for brutally killing a youngster in Karachi. Those who were involved in the murder of innocent youth should be tried in anti-terrorist court and the case should be decided in 30 days, he said. He also condemned the statement of Interior Minister after the incident and said the minister gave undue favour to the Rangers Personnel. He also asked the interior minister to seek apology over his statement.
DG Rangers Sindh should have to resign over the incident, he said. He said the Rangers officials should properly be trained and educated before deploying them to big city. PML-N senior leader Makhdom Javed Hashmi strongly condemned the incident and said the life and property of each and every Pakistani was very important and respectable. He said the government should take note of sensitivity of the mass over the issue and give strict punishment to the accused. He warned that the sanctity of country’s institutions could be sabotaged if the life of a Pakistani could not be honored and respected. PPP leader Sumsam Bokhari said the incident was a matter of sham for the country and the Parliament as well, adding that the statement of Interior Minister was also inappropriate if he had defended the act of Rangers Personnel. He said it was matter of satisfaction that the Prime Minister has given the commitment that he would personally look into the matter.
