Nawaz supporting Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, says Malik

Interior Minister Rehman Malik has said that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif’s sympathy for the banned Peoples Aman Committee had vindicated that the Punjab government was supporting the Lashkar-e-Jhangvi. “I am surprised at Nawaz Sharif’s sympathy with the people of Lyari. He openly supports the banned group,” Malik said. He also welcomed the restoration of normal life in Lyari, where police battled with suspected gangsters for seven consecutive days. The police have been repositioned to facilitate public, he said, adding that the government could not put the people into trouble due to criminal’s activities.
