to band motor bikes and cellular service its not the solution corruption should be band not any thing else
@hairaan. Why was Imam Hussain a.s. martyred by yazeed laeen? Was he disrespecting companions? Lunatics dont need a reason to be evil. Its in their nature. Dont find excuses for them . This mentality is why we r in such a mess
Pakistan is the only country where the situation is like this. Stop funding from saud and gulf countries and brainwashing and terrorism will stop.
I like his hat. He may be incompetent as the interior minister but one must admit he is getting some style now.
@Pessimist: Good one & absolutely correct.
I dont think he understands the basic formula that billions are lost in the economy when you dont work 1 day.
Right. And Rehman Malik saves the day ..BS
Rehman malik is making people used to !
@joy: dat isn't funny............who would let him ban anything here............foolish u r
Rehman Malik is right. But, some hate mongers are always going to criticize no matter what. Police and law enforcement agencies are putting their lives at stake for protecting people. Odds are stacked against them with the patronage of the terrorists by the military establishment, their sympathizers in the judiciary, media and public, open breeding grounds in central and southern Punjab with a friendly law minister, and training centers in the safe heavens of North Waziristan. They operate with impunity, if caught, judges fail to find anything wrong with their acts of terror.
now i know why his India visit was deferred.............he was about to suggest banning the Delhi Metro service:)
idiotic approach
If it would lead to a decrease in attacks. Then Malik sahib deserves all the support we can get.. So far I have read nothing but criticism for what ever he does.
Incidentally the high court has stated that they may allow the government to ban motorcycles for a limited period. if there is a credible threat to the peope. Sadly it tool multiple attacks and precious lives lost to convince the high court that there is a 'credible' threat.
Malik's statements are as ridiculous as the cap on his head.
ET u were so excited that u forget to hyperlink http://screencast.com/t/wUjta8WZ
That's just not enough Mr. Malik, Please ask army and rangers to launch an operations against crows and Kabootars as they may be used to transmit messages by '3rd Party terrorist;.
Once there was a village with people living happily. Then a lion came and started to eat people one by one. Then one man (who claimed to be their security provider) stood and ask the people to prepare a large cage. After a period of many days and hard work, people were able to prepare the cage. They were so happy that now the security man will tell them how to catch and lion and put it in cage. But instead he asked the people to get in the cage. Till this day, people are still in cage and the lion is roaming free in village.
Thanks for not being able to eradicate the root problem and instead create confusion and hurdles for the common man
This is so sad. The only holiday should have been on the 10th of Muharram. Let the people in this country work.I'm disgusted by the government for destroying this country.
shouldnt all offices be closed?
Good for us but what about federal govt announcement as most of the banks and private sectors came under the SBP and federal govt.
