ISLAMABAD: Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan on Tuesday said that the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) talking about curbing corruption was like the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) campaigning for the rights of Muslims.
“He screams over Panama leaks, even though his mother has also been named in the papers. Please take your mother’s case to court first,” Nisar said, without naming Bilawal Bhutto.
He was talking to reporters after attending a passing out parade of police constables and first batch of the Rapid Response Force (RRF) at Police Lines.
The first batch of 409 cadets passed out, including 341 constables, 45 lady constables and 33 drivers.
Chaudhry Nisar alleged that officials from the previous PPP government were involved in massive money laundering carried out by Khanani and Kalia.
“The record was destroyed to conceal facts,” Nisar alleged, adding that he would be bringing forward important developments in the case within the next two weeks.
To a question, Nisar said it was extremely sad that ‘honest’ Sindh Police Inspector General (IG) AD Khawaja had been sent on forced leave by the provincial government without any consultation with the federal government.
The minister also spoke about the Abbottabad Commission and said he would ask the cabinet to reveal findings of the report.
“The Abbottabad raid was the biggest attack on the country’s sovereignty in the last 69 years,” he said while replying to another question. He said the final decision over the Abbottabad Commission “rests with the prime minister”.
To another question, the minister said scores of citizens were burnt alive in Karachi’s Baldia factory for money, and added the credit should be given to the government for bringing the main culprit from Thailand to Pakistan for interrogation.
