ISLAMABAD: Interior Minister Rehman Malik on Tuesday said that the nation had appreciated the prime minister’s decision to personally appear before the apex court and that this step would help remove is understandings.
Speaking to media representatives at the parliament house, he said the government always respected the apex court and implemented its decisions.
He said the opposition was using various tactics to snatch the winning majority away from the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) in the upcoming Senate elections.
The minister added that the parliament would complete its tenure and that elections would be held on time.
Malik said that on the one hand the PML-N was claiming to defend the country’s democratic system while on the other it had taken, what he claimed, the ‘fake’ memo issue to the apex court.
He said US businessman Mansoor Ijaz had a role in the toppling of Benazir Bhutto’s government and that the ongoing memo issue was a continuation of the conspiracy.
