Terrorists getting support from across the border: Nisar
ISLAMABAD: Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan has said that world has recognised Pakistan's successes in the war on terrorism.
Addressing a press conference here Friday, Nisar said “Terrorists are on the run, and they are desperately hitting soft targets. They are getting support from across the border.”
The Interior minister said the opposition is not serious in measures against corruption, but it is exploiting the issue to secure political vested interests.
“Undue criticism of the security agencies is no service to the country. It is my duty as Interior Minister to refute the wrong impression created about the security agencies.”
He said 20,000 intelligence-based operations have been carried out, which helped to prevent several terrorist attacks.
Referring to the verification campaign of computerized national identity cards, Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan said over 31 million cards have been verified. He said thirty thousand intruders have been identified so far, who have been blocked. They will be unblocked if they were verified; however in case of non-verification, action will be taken against them after August 31.
He appealed to the people and the media to make this national campaign a success.
The Minister said dialogue is the only option for Pakistan and India to resolve their issues, but India always closed the door for talks and also maligned Pakistan.
He said no Pakistani can remain silent over the atrocities being committed against the people of the occupied Kashmir by the Indian forces.
Referring to the Indian Home Minister's early departure before conclusion of the recent SAARC Interior Ministers' conference in Islamabad, Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan said he only defended his country.
Commenting on blacklisted US national, Nisar Matthew Barrett will be deported in the next three days in the light of the findings of the joint investigation team's report.
He said the findings did not suggest that Matthew Barrett was a spy, but he was found in objectionable activities.
The minister stated that the plane tickets of super model Ayyan Ali and Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari were purchased from the same account.
