No one will stop if Nawaz Sharif wants to return to country: Rehman Malik

Islamabad: Responding to a question regarding former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, PPP leader Rehman Malik has said if Nawaz Sharif wants to return to the country no one was going to stop him.

Addressing the book titled “Assassination of Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto” launching ceremony in Islamabad, Rehman Malik said, “It was a misconception that the PPP government failed to investigate the assassination during its five-year term. All the perpetrators were identified, arrested and prosecuted. The court sentenced them to jail terms.” 

Zardari has become politically active again

The former interior minister said Asif Ali Zardari has become politically active again and the government felt alarmed over it. He said whenever Zardari joins the game, his opponents face certain defeat and the way the government was panicking indicated that there was something fishy.

Truth Commission must be made

While suggesting government a solution towards banned outfit Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) issues, he said that a Truth Commission must be made. He requested Afghan Minister Haqqani to hand over Ikramul Haq to Pakistan. He also stated that Afghan Taliban government is not as equally interested in collaborating with Pakistan while it has made an agreement with US.

Benazir Bhutto was killed in a suicide blast in Rawalpindi’s Liaquat Bagh on December 27, 2007, a few months after her return to Pakistan after eight years of political exile in London.

The PPP has been holding death anniversary commemorations at Garhi Khua Bux near Larkana since 2008.
