ISLAMABAD: Interior Minister Rehman Malik on Tuesday ordered the authorities to probe whether any parliamentarians came to the National Assembly with weapons.

Replying to a point of order of Ejaz Virk in the National Assembly that two parliamentarians had managed to come to the House with pistols, the minister said that police, Rangers and FC were responsible for external security of the parliament building and that every person was searched thoroughly before entering the premises of the parliament.

He said that help would be also taken from CCTV footage to probe whether such incidents had taken place.

Malik also constituted a joint investigation committee to probe the killing of a professor in Sindh.

He said an investigation was also underway to arrest the killers of Bakhtiar Domki's wife and daughter, adding that his statement about the killing of 60 FC men in Balochistan should not be linked to the killing of Domki's wife and daughter.
