KARACHI: Interior Minister Rehman Malik has said that anti-state elements were involved in lawlessness to destabilise the country.

“I assure you that all the terrorists will be brought before the media as soon as possible after thorough investigation,” he said while talking to media at the Crisis Management Cell here on Friday.

He said that two target killers have been arrested and a large quantity of weapons were recovered from them.

“Videos will also be released to the media,” he further added.

To a question, he said that community policing was need of the hour and it would not be possible to control the law and order situation without their help.

Earlier, the minister held detailed meetings with the members of the business community to discuss law and order situation and cases of extortion.

The office bearers of Federation of Pakistan Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) and Karachi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) also attended the meeting.
