Interior Minister Rehman Malik surprised the nation on Wednesday when he told reporters that almost 70 percent of the people reported dead in targeted killings in Karachi were in fact murdered by their “wives and girlfriends”.
“If it is reported that 100 people are killed in targeted killings, investigations later reveal that only 30 were the actual victims, while the remaining 70 died at the hands of their wives or girlfriends,” Malik said with unflinching conviction during a press conference in Quetta.
Before his above-stated baffling reply to a question on targeted killings in Karachi, Malik said talks would not be held with those who were burning the Pakistani flag in Balochistan.
