Govt responsible for release of all Pak prisoners in tribal areas: Rashid
ISLAMABAD: Information Minister Pervaiz Rashid says the government is responsible for the release of all Pakistani prisoners in the tribal areas including the sons of Salman Taseer and Yousaf Raza Gilani.
Addressing a book launching ceremony, Rashid said the list of women and children prisoners provided by the Taliban would be discussed with relevant institutions. He added that the government committee will gather information regarding the prisoners and then inform the Taliban and media.
According to Rashid, Pakistan’s borders were secure.
The information minister reiterated that the missing Malaysian Airlines jet was not in Pakistan. Rashid said the plane could not have landed in the country as only a few airfields could accommodate such a large aircraft.
