Government examining Sufi remarks: Rehman Malik

Adviser to the Prime Minister on Interior Rehman Malik has said that the government is examining Maulana Sufi Muhammad’s remarks about the Supreme Court of Pakistan and the democracy. Rehman Malik said “Provincial government is responsible to maintaining law and order situation in Swat and other parts of NWFP.”
The recording of Sufi Muhammad’s public address is being seen to evaluate the intent behind his remarks about superior courts and the democracy. Malik said that he had sought a report from the provincial government about prevailing security situation in Swat valley and parts of NWFP.
“A high-level meeting has been called on Tuesday to review the overall law and order situation across the country.” Earlier, he called on Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani and apprised him of the steps taken by the government to improve law and order situation.
