Prime Minister’s advisor on Interior Rehman A Malik said at a joint press conference with Jamaat Islami Chief Qazi Hussain Ahmed here at Mansoorah on Sunday.

Malik invited JI Ameer to join a ‘big Girga’ at Parachinar and briefed him about the efforts of the government to control law and order situation in FATA.

He said that his visit to Mansoorah was aimed at sharing information and seeking guidance from JI Ameer to improve the situation there.

The advisor said that the government is not getting dictation from any foreign power but consulting the political forces inside the country in its war against terrorism.

To a question, he said that policies of Pervez Musharraf have already been changed and the present government believes in use of force as a last option that is the reason casualty rate in activities of law enforcement agencies have been substantially reduced.

“ Our intelligence agencies are working for no one else but for us and following best qualitative standards”, he said.

He said that the operation in tribal areas has been suspended during the Holy month of Ramazan. 

To another question Rehman Malik  said that the judges took oath on their own desire.

To yet another question he said that some foreign elements are also involved in disrupting the situation and the foreign made weapons are being used by the terrorists.

Qazi Hussain Ahmed said that political dialogue is spirit of democracy for which JI’s doors are always open.

He said that Allah is the supreme power and the government should implement Quran and Sunnah without getting impressed by any power other than Allah.

He said that he has talked to the advisor for changing policies of Pervez Musharraf in FATA because in his views Musharraf’s policies were root cause of the whole disturbance.

He said that maximum financial autonomy should be given to the provinces for enabling them to use their resources for welfare of their people.
