I will expose faces of Taliban and many others that are destabilising the country," the Minister on Tuesday said on the floor of the Lower House of the Parliament while responding the opposition views on cut motions on his Ministry.
Rehman Malik also said, "I will pubic who is behind the joint conspiracy if my leadership was hit."

The government is taking action against them and will continue doing so," he added. Malik said, "Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) was responsible for terrorism in the country. The TTP recruits innocent small kids of 11 to 15 years of age and prepares them as suicide bombers. It is now using young girls for this purpose," he claimed.
He said that we would flush out terrorism, which is taking the shape of cancer that had spread in every nook and corner of the country. "For this purpose the nation needs to be on guard," he opined.
Malik said, "Some are providing shelter to terrorists and not opposing them because they do not want them to attack on their gatherings and public meetings."

He told the House that the security agencies had averted 1,100 sabotage/terrorist acts last year that went unheeded by the public. He said that the institutions should not be hit because they are already fighting against terrorists. "If you want to hit, criticise Rehman Malik, but do not hit the institutions," he added.
