Conflict between institutions detrimental

ISLAMABAD: Federal Interior Minister Rehman A Malik assured Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman in a long one-on-one meeting that the government is making all out efforts to bring Dr Aafia Siddiqui back home.

Fazlur Rehman said the conflicts between the institutions would be hugely disastrous for the country, as the present time necessitates well-thought out steps.

The meeting held in the federal capital mulled over the overall law and order situation in the country, the issues of Dera Ismail Khan and the distribution of Watan Cards among the flood affectees.

‘The government coalition is quite staunch,’ Maulana Fazl said condemning the efforts being made on the part of a certain lobby to create an air of conflict among the institutions.

The JUI-F leader said Pakistan has a strong democracy and the efforts aimed at debilitating it, would be tantamount to dividing the country.

The JUI-F hailed the serious government efforts for improving the law and order situation in Balochistan, he added.
