Interior Minister bursts out over Balochistan issue

ISLAMABAD: Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan Monday burst out over the Balochistan issue, expressing shock at the failure of the entire security apparatus along with all security agencies in curbing terrorism in the restive province.

Pashtunkhwa Milli Awami Party (PMAP) Chief, Mahmood Khan Achakzai asked: “Why is it that our security agencies are capable enough to find a needle in a haystack but the law and order situation continues to remain dires straits (in Balochistan)”.

Chaudhry Nisar announced that a meeting of civil armed forces has been convened for June 20 and that a security policy will be announced by June 20-21.

“The Ziarat incident appears to be the result of incompetence on the part of our security agencies,” he lamented, adding, ”an internal hand could be involved in the incident.”

The interior minister further added, that the statements of the DPO and DCO were contradicting each other, and vowed that the investigation report will be made public.

Mahmood Khan Achakzai in his speech during the NA session warned that ”if the establishment was not reined in within the next two-three years, he would quit the assembly.”

He said, neighbouring countries including China were not on good terms (with Pakistan) and that ‘it was us who sold the atom bomb’.

“Osama (Bin Laden) was nabbed from a place located near the training facility of ISSB and it is also a fact that we are interfering in Afghanistan’s affairs and it was Pakistan who provided a safe haven to the insurgents,” Achakzai maintained.
