The minister said that “the government has fulfilled its promise”. He said that everything would be made public but first this report would be presented before the Pakistan People’s Party’s (PPP) Central Executive Committee.
Malik, however, added that the PPP’s committee would decide whether to disclose the names of the killers or wait, said the channel.
The minister called upon India and Afghanistan to sit with Pakistan to think over the issue of terrorism which, he opined, could be eliminated by joining hands. He informed the reporters that the agenda for the upcoming talks between Pakistan’s interior secretary and Indian home minister had been finalised.
Meanwhile, a US Congressional delegation called on Malik at the Ministry of Interior and discussed with him a host of issues. The minister told the delegation that Pakistan had been taking decisive measures for elimination of terrorism, adding that the country had given great sacrifices in the war on terror. daily times monitor/app
