ISLAMABAD: The federal government will withdraw the report submitted in the Supreme Court of Pakistan about the existence of the Muhajir Republican Army, Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan on Friday.
Speaking on the floor of the National Assembly, the Interior Minister said that the said report was submitted in the apex court without his consent and approval of the government.
Nisar said that the federal government will tender apology to the apex court over the submission of the said report.
On Thursday, during the hearing of the Karachi law and order case in the Supreme Court, Attorney-General Munir A Malik submitted the report which uncovered the existence of Muhajir Republican Army in Karachi.
The report was submitted in response to the court notice to the federal government to present its stance on assisting the Sindh government in curbing unabated violence and crime in the metropolis.
The report suggested legal action against the group if and when its members are identified.
“All-out efforts are required to identify the members of the Muhajir Republican Army and action taken against them under the law,” it said.
Many political parties had expressed concerns over the report and the mention of an unknown group.
