ISLAMABAD: Former Interior Minister Rehman Malik said on Tuesday that Muhammad Sikandar, the prime suspect of Islamabad standoff, had never been a security guard of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto.
Speaking to reporters outside the Supreme Court, Malik dispelled rumours that Sikandar was Bilawal Bhutto’s security guard.
“Whatever is written on social media doesn’t become a truth,” Rehman said.
The former interior minister said that Islamabad firing incident was not any movie scene, adding that those were real guns.
“Chaudhry Nisar Ali is a good politician. He is doing a fine job. But if I was the interior minister, there would have calls for my resignation,” he said.
Rehman expressed the fear that law and order situation in Karachi and Quetta could worsen. He said that it was imperative to make a new national counter-terrorism policy, adding that all parties need to work together in this regard.
He advised the federal government to crackdown on Lashkar-e-Jhangvi to restore peace in Karachi and Balochistan.
