LAHORE, March 5: Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif says the law and order situation in Punjab is much better than other provinces and replying to the accusations of Rehman Malik is a waste of time.

He was talking to newsmen at the joining of PML-N by Lashkari Raisani in Raiwind on Tuesday, says a handout.

Answering a question, the chief minister said that arm licenses to terrorists were not issued by the Punjab government but the federal and Sindh governments. He said that Rehman Malik had been declared a liar by the Supreme Court and considering him unreliable, he would not comment on his remarks.
