ISLAMABAD: Interior Minister, Rehman Malik on Monday said law of the land would take its course if former President General (Retd) Pervez Musharraf arrives in Pakistan.
“Officially I have no information about his arrival or in which city he (Musharraf) will land, but one can contact his party people to know about detail,” said Malik.
The minister said this after attending a meeting of National Assembly Standing Committee on Interior held at Headquarters of National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA).
Rehman Malik ruled out any mediation on part of Saudi Arabia's government in connection with arrival of Pervez Musharraf to Pakistan. “Saudi Arabia has requested nothing in this regard,” he added.
The minister said the government would issue Pakistan's visa to US businessman, Mansoor Ejaz whenever he wants. As per directions of Commission, probing memo issue, the government would also provide security to Mansoor Ejaz if he arrives, Rehman Malik assured.
“Chief of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Nawaz Sharif knows better that who is Mansoor Ejaz and if Nawaz Sharif wants to take him to Raiwind as a guest, all security would be provided,” he said, in response to a question.
When asked about involvement of his ministry's officials in corruption, Malik said, the officials of Ministry of Interior, who were involved in corruption, have been arrested and challaned. Moreover, the cases registered ten years back, were also being scrutinised and action would also be taken as per law.
Rehman Malik said NADRA has been tasked to computerised arm licenses issued by Ministry of Interior with the objective to ensure transparency.
The minister asked the license holders to get their arm licenses re-registered so the process could be completed within set time frame.
