LAHORE, Pakistan: The Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah has said that neither there exits any terrorist hideout in Punjab nor there is any no-go area in the province.
In a press conference in Lahore on Tuesday, the provincial minister said that under the 20-point national plan of action, joint operations are also being carried out in Punjab by Pakistan army, Rangers, police and other law enforcement agencies (LEAs).
However, he claimed that terrorists do not have any organized network in Punjab.
Rana Sanaullah said that it has been decided to increase the number of intelligence-based operations across the province.
The provincial minister said that as many as 5,221 suspects have been arrested in Punjab in various operations conducted by police, Rangers and Counter Terrorism Department (CTD).
The minister said that 1,550 people are in the Fourth Schedule and they are being strictly monitored.
Moreover, he said that the Punjab government possesses all record of religious seminaries across the province.
Talking about Sunday’s blast in Lahore’s Gulshan-e-Iqbal Park, Rana Sanaullah said that someone must have facilitated the suicide bomber. He said that a Joint Investigation Team has been formed to probe the blast.
