LAHORE: Federal Interior Minister Rehman Malik on Wednesday said that the law and order situation in the country had improved, but it was not yet ideal.
He was talking to the newsmen during his visit to the mausoleum of Dr Allama Mohammad Iqbal on the occasion of Iqbal Day.
Malik said Pakistan was passing through a very critical situation which demands unity among all segments of the society.
Replying to a question, he rejected the impression that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) was playing the role of a friendly opposition.
Malik said that one should realise that whether or not his action was in accordance with the Constitution of Pakistan.
Responding to another query, he said that they had never used unparliamentary language against any one at the party (PPP) level.
“We are totally against such people, who go to that extent,” he added.
The interior minister said: “If anyone has objection on any issue, he must take it up in the Parliament”.
Regarding Shahbaz Sharif's harsh statements against President Asif Ali Zardari, Malik expressed the hope that Shahbaz would perhaps not utter such statements in future.
Replying to a question, he said that at the 17th South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) Conference, the matters related to the security, economic and other would be discussed.
“We want to stabilise Pakistan,” he said, adding that Pakistan's relations with India had now improved.
The interior minister also stressed the need for promoting Allama Iqbal's philosophy among the youth, citing “Iqbal's philosophy is actually the basis of Pakistan's creation.”
