ISLAMABAD: The federal minister for interior Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan on Tuesday took serious notice of undue criticism against defence institutions and said that it provides chance to enemies to exploit the situation.
His statement came in reference to accusations levelled by senior journalist Amir Mir, brother of Hamid Mir who was attacked in Karachi on Saturday and sustained serious injuries, and Geo News against the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) Chief Lt. Gen. Zaheerul Islam of involvement in attack on Hamid Mir.
In a statement on Tuesday, the interior minister said that attack on senior Journalist Hamid Mir is highly condemnable. He said that the attack is not only a tragic incident for his family but also for the entire journalistic community and the nation.
The interior minister, however, said that the way the incident is being used as a justification to attack national institutions and level allegations against them without any evidence is a matter of grave concern.
Nisar pointed out that there was no justification for allegations when the government has already set up a judicial ommission consisting of three senior Judges of the Supreme Court.
