ISLAMABAD: PPP’s senior leader and Chairman Senate Standing Committee on Interior Senator Rehman Malik has expressed his resentment on the arrest of Speaker Sindh Assembly Siraj Durrani from Islamabad. He, in his speech on the floor of the house, said that the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) should have followed the rules, law and procedure.He said that he agreed with his fellow senators that such acts are attack on the system but who has to ensure the rule of law, who has made NAB’s laws, who has to improve the law and who has to ensure enactment of the law. He said, “People are losing their confidence in parliament and we have to restore their trust in Parliament by ensuring the implementation of laws.”He said, “If a case is registered against one in Sindh and inquiry is underway in a province, how can he be arrested from Islamabad.” He raised on the floor of the house that he has a question that how and why was Agha Siraj Durrani arrested from Islamabad? He said that all the Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) must follow the law, system and procedure. He said there is a thin line between accountability and victimisation adding victimisation brings hate and division among the people. There should be an end to victimisation in the country, he empathised.Senator Malik also said that it was “time for us all to shun all difference and to express unity as a nation as India is blaming Pakistan for its own terrorist activities particularly the Pulwama incident.” He said, “We all as nation should condemn Indian threatening statements against Pakistan and give a strong message to India from this house”.He said that habitually Indian leadership once again has levelled allegation against Pakistan like after every such attack and without any investigation. He said Pulwama incident has been attributed to Pakistan without any proof like in the past similar fakes charges were levelled against Pakistan. He said Indian investigators have proved that terrorist attacks in past were the skilful job of RAW to damage Pakistan reputation internationally. He said that PM Modi is using these techniques in his election campaign for own political interests.Senator Malik said that he will continue to expose PM Narendra Modi for his terrorist mindset. He said that there is nexus between RSS and RAW against Pakistan adding RSS has been involved in Muslim genocide in India and Indian Occupied Kashmir (IOK).He also expressed great annoyance that India foreign minister Sushma Swaraj has been invited as 'Guest of Honour' to the inaugural plenary of the foreign ministers' conclave of the OIC. He asked the government of Pakistan to raise the issue with OIC and protest on the issue as it is a failure of Pakistan’s foreign policy that Indian FM is being invited to OIC meet as Guest of Honour.
