Khurshid Shah demands Interior Minister’s reshuffle

ISLAMABAD (Web Desk) – Opposition Leader in the National Assembly Khurshid Shah has suggested Prime Minister Nawaz Shaif to change Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan.

While talking to the media, Khurshid Shah said every person condemned the terrorist attack on Bacha Khan University Charsadda but there were no words from Chaudhry Nisar on the tragic incident. He said raising fingers on Ch Nisar is like someone is raising fingers on PM Nawaz Sharif.

Meanwhile, Ch Nisar also under immense pressure to take action against Lal Masjid cleric Abdul Aziz after four key legal documents, asserting that the cleric was an absconder, were presented before the upper house by Senator Farhatullah Babar.

Babar, who also sought the chair’s permission to move a privilege motion against Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan for misleading the house, said Nisar incorrectly stated in Senate that the government did not move against Aziz because of a lack of evidence in the case lodged against him.

In a policy statement presented to Senate on Dec 30, 2015, on the implementation of the National Action Plan, the interior minister had also said that if anyone came up with documentary evidence against Aziz, immediate action will be taken regardless of political considerations.
