'CM Punjab in office due to stay order'

Advisor to Prime Minister on Interior Affairs, Rehman Malik Monday said Chief Minister Punjab Shahbaz Sharif has been in office for the last four years by courtesy of a legal stay order. Talking to media men at Karachi airport, Rehman Malik denied having any role in Zulfiqar Khosa's differences with Pakistan Muslim League-N and that Pakistan People's Party had not invited him to join hands with it but 'the doors are open for everyone'. To a question, the Advisor said 26 accused had been arrested for extorting money in Karachi. Measures are being adopted to uproot extortion in the provincial capital, adding every incident of killing in the city should not be labeled as targeted killing. With reference to Balchistan situation, he said the people of the province have become well aware of the fact that the foreign conspiracy was responsible for the ongoing unrest there. "I would reveal the names of some more countries involved in causing disturbance in Balochistan in the next in-camera briefing," he said. He said the Baloch people themselves were becoming victims of the atrocities and terrorism of Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA). The people of Balochistan love Pakistan and the unrest in the province was a result of a pre-conceived conspiracy, he added.
