Talking to Pakistan Peoples Party MNA Nasir Ali at Parliament House, who is boycotting the National Assembly session to protest the killing of innocent people in the province, Malik said that security forces had found evidences that banned organisation Lashkhar-e-Jangvi was involved in target killings in Quetta.

He said that security forces had recovered mobiles phones and data of conversation between jailed terrorists of the organisation and their accomplices.

He said security forces had succeeded to reducing incidents of target killing in the Balochistan and hoped that soon peace would be restored in the entire province.

Malik further said meeting of chief secretaries and IGPs of all provinces would be convened soon to chalk out foolproof security plan during the month of Moharram.

He said that all stakeholders should work together to eliminate terrorism from the country.
