CIA not at work in Pakistan: MalikISLAMABAD: Interior Minister Rehman Malik said on Saturday that Pakistan was a sovereign state and the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) was neither conducting any operation inside the country nor it will be allowed to do so. Talking to media outside the parliament, he said the law enforcement agencies were conducting operation against the illegal immigrants, adding, that the people who were living in Pakistan despite their expiry of visa have also been deported. He urged the people to stand with national security agencies and criticism on them without any evidence is unjustified as they are fighting for the survival of the country. He disclosed that timely reporting about 1,100 cases by the agencies saved the country from terrorist’s activities. Rehman Malik termed the news about deleting Saleem Shahzad’s data as totally wrong and added that a commission has been formed to probe the killing of Saleem Shahzad. To another question, he said to maintain the law and order situation was the responsibility of the provinces. app
