Nisar advises PM to clean the house but not make Pakistan a laughing stock

September 19, 2017

ISLAMABAD, Sep 19 (INP) Former Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan has advised the Prime Minister to fix the matters of his house (government) but not make the country a laughing stock in the world. “No body has any objection over cleaning the house but instead of making statements, attention should be paid to practical steps” the former Interior Minister said Tuesday while informally talking to media persons at the Punjab House. When asked to comment on Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi’s statement that he agreed with Foreign Minister Kh Asif remarks about in house cleaning, he said by these comments, Pakistan is itself admitting allegations that India had been levelling against it and posed the question whether the Indian government or their politicians have admitted their crimes of destabilizing Pakistan and supporting terror activities. He emphasised that the anti terror operations carried out in the country in the last four years have no precedence but still there is lot to be done. As such the government functionaries may pay attention to them and avoid giving statements that strengthen the anti state forces. . Nisar pointed out that dozens of terrorists camps are operating under the eyes of US Cameras in Afghanistan and from those camps terrorists cross into Pakistan and carry out bloodshed. He posed the question whether at any point of time the United States or Afghanistan had felt the need for putting the house in order in the war torn country. Former Interior Minister said he is of the opinion that steps be taken to overcome the weaknesses but when responsible leaders make them part of their statements, that give credence to the allegations of the enemy that Pakistan is the root cause of terrorist activities. He challenged that if any one has doubt about his remarks, he should go through the reports in the Indian media after the statement of Khawaja Asif. Nisar told the Pakistani leadership that Indian government or its politicians have never admitted the heinous crimes being carried out by extremist Hindu organisations and referred to black facing of respectable people, violence against foreign guests and lynching of Muslims and other minorities on suspicion of slaughter of cows.
