Malik gives terrorists last chance to surrender

Malik urges Wafaqul Mudaras to form a committee to hold talks with misguided elements.

Express March 09, 2011

ISLAMABAD: Interior Minister Rehamn Malik on Wednesday said that the Wafaqul Mudaras should form a committee to hold talks with misguided elements.

Addressing the Serat Conference in Islamabad, the interior minister said that he was giving terrorists a last chance to surrender and apologise.

Malik said that talks can be held with the terrorists if they lay down arms. He asserted that the terrorists were being paid to carry out blasts and hatching such conspiracies against Islam will have to be foiled.

He added the terrorists want to create rifts among Pakistanis as a nation.

Carolingian | 13 years ago | Reply When Malik speaks, the WHOLE WORLD LAUGHS. Laughts at Malik. Laughs at Pakistan. Laughs at Pakistan's pathetic existence. Malik is telling us that Pakistan is a FAILED STATE. Islamabad's bureaucracy (not a "government") does not control Pakistan's territory: this is the definition of a FAILED STATE. Rawalpindi's men in starched uniforms are no substitute for control, and Islamabad's thieves with Swiss bank accounts are no substitute for government. The cowardly and insecure Pakistani "Army" can't control the INSIDE of Pakistan and is too weak and backward to attack India, so the ISI trains, protects and nurtures terrorists for the Army to hide behind. MEMO to Malik: you must control the Army/ISI or realize that you control NOTHING. When Pakistan finally dissolves, the peoples of current-day Pakistan will finally be able to build their futures, free of Islamabad's and Rawalpindi's death-clutches.

QB | 13 years ago | Reply What a joke. Do they still need any more warnings. What the ....@$#&*^

HUSSAIN | 13 years ago | Reply This is not actually warning but expression of the failure of our law enforcement agencies.What does it mean of offering negotiation when they laid down their weapons.It adversely encouraging the outfits for creating more tense and pressure.The concern authorities well known about the hideouts of these baned organization who are operating by different names,they should be brought into justice without any discrimination.

M. Tauseef Barlas | 13 years ago | Reply nobody knows in the govt how to defeat them. no planning.

Hamza | 13 years ago | Reply This is such a joke! Are you sure they're not the ones giving you a last chance? And if you've been giving them chances for so long. shame on you! you've got blood of thousands of people on your hands.

Mulla Toofhan | 13 years ago | Reply Mr. Malik, Three years into murder and mayhem and you have just come to last warning. Dont you think we have passed the stage of warning long ago. I am sorry I forgot that you guys are here for different reason. How many more deaths before you decide to take action!!! But then again why should you care, Life is good for you guys, pay cheque is still coming, still have all the perks so couple of thousand dead shouldn't bother you'll.

Aryabhat | 13 years ago | Reply Last chance to surrender? From Mr Malik to Terrorist? Really? Ohh Sorry, Just realsied these are "misguided elements", NOT Terrorists, you see!

Dr.Habibullah Chaudhry | 13 years ago | Reply Mr. Malik whome are fooling--- yourself or the nation. Be ready to be accountable.

Iftikhar-ur-Rehman | 13 years ago | Reply He has been giving "LAST WARNINGS" since he took over as the Interior Minister. The beasts ( Talibans) care TWO HOOTS for your warnings.

Sengathir | 13 years ago | Reply His face is irritating me to the core..Such a shamless chap, he is, to be thrown into Arabian see for the good of pakistani people....

saleem | 13 years ago | Reply Last Chance....

Tilsim | 13 years ago | Reply @ John "hard to separate policy from sermon." Excellent. Could n't put it better.

Khamoshi Ka Boycott - skhurram | 13 years ago | Reply Yesterday Mr Gillani gave last chance today Malik sb. These guys are making jokes with nation. Sir Jee do some thing for this nation rather than getting political benefits.

S Khan | 13 years ago | Reply It is better we give Rehman Malik last chance to surrender as Minister.

Habibullah Shaikh | 13 years ago | Reply Giving the terrorists last chance? Last chance, or giving him further time to do whatever they have planned to do more in future. Pakistan can never survive under this type of the Most Corrupted Governments, only army (the invisible govt, that always takes care of the country) can run the affairs of Pakistan. Curse on these political leaders, incompetent and incapable.

shaharyar | 13 years ago | Reply Rehman Baba is making joke with the nation. Please resign and give other a chance to work. You are watching the interest of others instead of general public of Pakistan and working on foreign agenda

CHICKKEN TIKKA | 13 years ago | Reply Yesterday in Faisalabad & today in Peshawar. Tomorrow? Pakistan outnumbered Iraq & Agghaistan in suicide missions. This Govt. has no moral right to contnue. Why don't the army takeover, atlest to ensure peace and stability.

John | 13 years ago | Reply I started to read the report with enthusiasm " Way to go", but it ran out of stem quickly. He should have said...... "....... hatching conspiracy against PAKISTAN(not Islam, as he sated) will have to be foiled" According to the terrorist idiots they are in Jihad. So they are on the right side of Islam. Tragedy, both in Politics and Journalism religion is intermingled and hard to separate policy from sermon.

babar chandio | 13 years ago | Reply yes,once again the cowards of ppp are begging for negotiations with the religous terrorists. ppp,your appeasement policy won't work.it didn't work for zulfiqar bhutto,it won't save zardari. bhutto made concession after concession to the religous barbarians but they still didn't stop opposing him. The current ppp's surrender won't work either & the rest of us will have to suffer for ppp's cowardice.

KR | 13 years ago | Reply Last chance !!!!!!!!!! are you kidding me..........Hundreds of innocent people have died in the last couple of years and he looking for an apology...........sickening. I guess he is more of an idiot that I had originally thought. Burn in hell Rehamn Malik and remember all the money that you have stolen from the innocent people of Pakistan you can't take it with you to HELL.
