Interior Minister, Rehman Malik said on Saturday that Pakistan was a sovereign state and the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) was neither conducting any operation inside the country, nor it would be allowed to do so. Talking to media outside the Parliament House, he said law-enforcement agencies are conducting operations against illegal immigrants, and added that people who are living in Pakistan despite expiry of their visas have also been deported.
He urged the people to stand with national security agencies and criticism on them without any evidence is unjustified as they are fighting for the survival of the country. He disclosed that timely reporting about 1,100 cases by the agencies saved the country from terrorists activities.
Malik termed the news about deleting of Saleem Shahzad's data as totally wrong and added that a commission has been formed to probe the killing of late Saleem Shahzad. To another question, he said to maintain the law and order situation is the responsibility of the provinces. Law and order situation in Karachi was under control, he said.
He said, "Rangers were deployed in Karachi on the request of Sindh government to assist the police force. Police strength is not enough to control the law and order situation in Sindh. It will be unfair to blame the whole Rangers personnel for an individuals action", he said. He said during the last five month, about 48 police personnel embraced Shahadat while taking action against the criminals.
