Targeted action to be taken against miscreants: Rehman Malik
All parties to be taken on board to establish peace in the city.
Rehman Malik says that no party will be discriminated against and all necessary action will be taken without political intimidation.
KARACHI: Upon his arrival at Karachi Airport late on Thursday, Interior Minister Rehman Malik announced that necessary targeted action against miscreants will be taken.
Malik said that he could no longer see any difference between miscreants upsetting the peace in Karachi and the Taliban, against which the Pakistan army was fighting in Kurram. He said that 1000 FC personnel were being deployed in the city to facilitate the crack down against elements upsetting the balance of peace.
Malik dispelled fears that any one party would be marginalised against in the actions, saying that the government will work with all parties to deny destabilising elements any space in the city.
He urged the public to remain calm and to help the government in combating the miscreants.
The Interior Minister said that the government knew who was behind the recent episode of violence in the city and that they had foreign support. Actions against the miscreants will be taken during the night.
He said that some members of these groups had already been arrested and they had provided vital information. Law enforcement agencies were currently searching for their accomplices and raiding hideouts.
He promised that once those responsible have been caught, they will be presented to the media.

For the zillionth time the honorary Mr. Rehman Malik is repeating the same words regarding Karachi’s target killing issue.Recommend
Balance of peace? What is that?
Why don’t we just speak and write in Urdu rather than speaking in broken English?Recommend
What a Shame…!!! Why do our police needs orders to perform their job? Isn’t it understood to take action against any miscreants by default? or am I missing something?Recommend
Please, oh please, be speaking the truth this time…Recommend
After “Target Killing, we now present you “Target Action”. Now in Cinemas around you.Recommend
yea yea announce it on the media…”at night”.. why dont u call them ..u prolly have them on speed dial.. tell them well in advance so they make there great escape…sick of democracy…Recommend
of course,rehman malik sahab knows everything.Recommend
Complete failure of the police and rangers…the federal and provincial government are taking no action to actually make the situation better..All talk and no action. In years to come ppl will ask what you were doing when the corrupt leaders were letting the country fall to pieces and I’ll say we just watched them do it. Recommend
Nero played his fiddle while Rome burns. Our Nero Rehman Malick has done this several time. Recommend
I am so ashamed that people like Rehman Malik are the face of Pakistan. And honestly, what else does Pakistan need to do to be declared a failed state? If this mess in Pakistan doesn’t do it, I don’t know what will.Recommend
Talks cheap — time for some action.Recommend
A man who promised “Presidential Level Security” for the visiting Sri Lankan Cricket team, only to leave them at the mercy of the terrorists, has no credibility in the eyes of common Pakistanis.
This is another promise of his among hundreds of other promises he has made. How much credence you give to his work can only be guessed by the fact that he was responsible for Benazir Bhutto’s safety and security.
In the civilized world, officials tender their resignations at the level of Mr. Malik’s performance. And where people have some shame, like in Korea or Japan, Ministers have known to commit suicide at failures that can be characterized as miniscule compared to tragic level of violence the Pakistanis have endured. Please note, that is in countries where they have some “Shame.”Recommend
He should take responsibility for the break down of law and order and resign.
He has been a failure………………. as law and order situation throughout the country has gone from bad to worseRecommend
maybe star wars characters are at work on the streets of karachi Mr Malik.Lets contact Steven Spielberg for a solutionRecommend
Yeah right!!!Recommend
It’s RAW with the help of MOSSAD with the help of the CIA (The foreign components). The Governments spin DOCTOR has now really forgotten his weaving skills. SHAME!!!!!!! Recommend
I know one thing, this life is Makaf-e-Amul, whosoever does anything good or bad deed, he would get the return in this life also. So, if anyone of leaders or politicians involved in this dirty game of target killings or killings, he would get the return soon, Insha Allah.
