BLA behind Balochistan unrest: Malik



KARACHI  - Interior Minister Rehman Malik on Monday said the Punjab government was running on stay order for the last four years.
Talking to media persons at Karachi airport, the interior minister accused the banned Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) and Baloch Republican Army (BRA) of carrying out atrocities on the people of Balochistan.
He said Balochistan is the top priority of the government. Neither any military operation was launched in Balochistan nor would it be done in the future, he added.
Rehman Malik said the government is trying to restore law and order in the country at priority bases.
He said that operation against extortionists and criminal elements was underway in Karachi and nobody would be allowed to take law into his hands.
To a question, he said that he did not play any role in Zulfiqar Khosa and his son’s resignation from PML-N but he invited them to join the PPP because doors of his party were always open for everyone.
