Provincial Minister for Law Rana Sanaullah said on Wednesday that Hafiz Saeed was put under house arrest under the National Action Plan (NAP) and not at the behest of someone else.

He said this while talking to the media outside the Punjab Assembly.

The minister said that operation Zarb-e-Azb and the national action plan were continuing to eliminate terrorism and militancy.

“This is being done with national consensus.  Militancy has been taking roots for the last 30-35 years, and it will take some time to weed it out completely,” the minister said.

Replying to a question, he said that the government had given relief to people by scaling down petrol prices but now due to an increase in petrol prices in the international market, prices have become high nominally and should be tolerated.
