[Dawn] ![]() Pak politician, current Interior Minister under the Gilani administration. Malik is a former Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) intelligence officer who rose to head the FIA during Benazir Bhutto's second tenure. He later joined the Pak Peoples Party and was chief security officer to Bhutto. Malik was tossed from his FIA job in 1998 after documenting the breath-taking corruption of the Sharif family. By unhappy coincidence Näwaz Shärif became PM at just that moment and Malik moved to London one step ahead of the button men. has said that anti-state elements were involved in lawlessness to destabilise the country. "I assure you that all the gunnies will be brought before the media as soon as possible after thorough investigation," he said while talking to media at the Crisis Management Cell here on Friday. He said that two hit mans have been placed in long-term storage and a large quantity of weapons were recovered from them. "Videos will also be released to the media," he further added. To a question, he said that community policing was need of the hour and it would not be possible to control the law and order situation without their help. Earlier, the minister held detailed meetings with the members of the business community to discuss law and order situation and cases of extortion. The office bearers of Federation of Pakistain Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) and Bloody Karachi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) also attended the meeting. |
