Interior Minister Rehman Malik on Sunday said two groups of the Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ) working under Malik Ishaq and Maulana Ludhianvi were operating in Pakistan.
Talking to reporters, Malik said all provinces needed to take action against terrorism and if the Punjab government had acted on letters written by him pertaining to the LeJ, tragedies such as those in Quetta would not have taken place.
Malik said after the 18th Amendment, maintaining law and order was the responsibility of the provincial governments.
The interior minister added that information regarding an attack on the Hazara community had been given four days earlier, questioning whose fault was it to let the attack happen.
