Interior Minister Rehman Malik has said that Pakistan is passing through a critical situation and law and order situation has improved but it is not yet ideal.
Talking to newsmen at the mausoleum of Dr Allama Muhammad Iqbal, he rejected the impression that the Pakistan Muslim League-N was playing the role of a friendly opposition. “Our nation is aware of PML-N’s behaviour with Pakistan People’s Party, especially in Parliament,” he said.
Rehman said that one should realize that whether or not his action was in accordance with the constitution. “The policy of ‘not to play and let not to play’ after every two to three years is not correct,” he said. He said that they had never used un-parliamentary language against any one at the party level.
“We are totally against such people, who go to that extent,” he said. “If anybody (PML-N) has objection on any issue, it must take up it in the Parliament,” he said. Regarding Shahbaz Sharif’s harsh statements against the president, he hoped that he (Shahbaz) would perhaps not utter such statements in future.
To a query, Rehman said that at an appropriate time, he would debunk the myth about Imran Khan’s public meeting in Lahore that who provided the flags and people for the success of show. He warned that elements wanting to topple the PPP-led democratic government, must keep in mind that they (PPP) were also fully aware of the conspiracies.
Replying to a question, he said that at the 17th SAARC (South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation) conference, the matters related to security, economic and other would be discussed. “We want to stabilize Pakistan,” he said, adding that Pakistan’s relations with India had now improved.
The minister stressed the need for promoting Allama Iqbal’s philosophy among the youth, citing the philosophy is actually the basis of Pakistan’s creation. He also offered fateha and laid a wreath at the mausoleum and noted his impressions about the national poet and philosopher in the Visitors Log.
