ISLAMABAD: Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan has said that Benazir Bhutto’s name is in the Panama Leaks and he was astonished to know that the PPP would launch a campaign against corruption in the country. Talking to media persons after the passing out parade of the Rapid Response Force here on Tuesday, the Interior Minister said Bilawal Bhutto has forgotten the Surrey Palace, and Palaces in France and Dubai. He said former President Asif Ali Zardari throughout his political life and even before never uttered a word against corruption. He said the PTI has gone to the Supreme Court and the PPP should have done the same about Benazir Bhutto’s name in the Panamaleaks. ‘By saying that PPP would launch a campaign against corruption is like BJP announcing to launch a campaign for the rights of Muslims in India’ the Minister remarked. He said there is no pressure on him and he would only feel it when there is pressure on his conscience. In reply to a question, Ch Nisar Ali Khan said he would demand in the Cabinet meeting for making the Abbottabad Commission report public. He said Pakistan sovereignty had never been violated in 69 years as was trampled during the PPP regime when American helicopters landed in Abbottabad and one of them was destroyed. ‘The Abbottabad raid was the biggest attack on the country's sovereignty in the last 69 years,’ he said. He added that a final decision over the Abbottabad Commission rests with the Prime Minister. Nisar said IG Police Sindh AD Khawaja is an honest police officer and he proceeded on forced leave. He commended Khawaja saying the change in Karachi is through his endeavours. About Khanani and Kalya he said billions of rupees money laundering was done by the company and he does not know whether Khanani committed suicide or it was accidental death. He disclosed that then government officials were involved and the record was destroyed on the instructions of then government as some high-ups were involved. Regarding Baldia factory fire, he said poor people were burnt for extracting money. He said the government deserves credit that it followed Rehman Bhola and with the cooperation of Thai government identified him and he was arrested in Bangkok. Earlier speaking at the passing out parade, the Interior Minister asked the newly inducted officials of Rapid Response Force, Police and Rangers to ensure zero crime rate in the country. Nisar said, ‘I am glad that in the last three years appointments in the department have been transparent. ‘Police officials do not belong to anyone, they are here to serve Pakistan,’ he said. He said that the police should abide by the law. ‘I want zero crime in the country,’ he said. INP
