Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan has said that the government could not remove containers unless Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan and Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) Chief Dr. Tahirul Qadri give written commitment that they will be responsible of any security mishap.
Speaking to a press conference in Islamabad today (Friday), Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan said that there were serious security concerns communicated to him by all the security agencies. He said that PTI and PAT had earlier given commitments that they would not enter the Red Zone, but they did.
Responding to the rumours about removal of IG Police Islamabad, Interior Minister told that the former IG had himself asked for a vacation which was granted. Another rumour was about poisoning of water. “Had we done anything like that, they might not have been dancing here all night long”, said Nisar. “We are providing water to people who are threatening to invade our houses and instead of thanking us they are blaming us of poisoning the water”, added the Interior Minister.
Nisar told that security threats were still there and were so serious that military intelligence agencies had conveyed the threats to him directly. “Nobody admits the fact that we have successfully provided security to these marchers for nine days so far”, Nisar said.
