US to strengthen Pakistan's civilian law enforcement capacity: Malik | Pakistan Interior Minister Rehman Malik has said the United States has offered help to Islamabad for building its civilian law enforcement capacity. Malik said a top US counter-terrorism advisor would be visiting
Islamabad soon to hold talks and discuss issues regarding that issue. Talking
to media persons after a meeting with Barack Obama's advisor on counter-terrorism,
Richard Gorgain here, Malik highlighted the need for strengthening the civilian
law enforcement capacity. "If Pakistan's civilian law enforcement personnel had
been better trained and well-equipped, the Taliban would not have been able to
challenge the government's writ in Swat," The Daily Times quoted Malik, as saying.
Responding to a question regarding madrassa reforms, Malik said the Islamic institutions
in the country would be brought under a regulatory authority. "The madrassas in
the country would be streamlined and brought into the mainstream under a regulatory
authority," Malik said. When asked about the progress made by the UN commission
which is probing the former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto's assassination case,
he said the commission would again visit the country next week to resume work
on identifying facts and circumstances surrounding incident. When enquired that
whether the commission was also planning to quiz former President General Pervez
Musharraf, Malik said the enquiry team had visited London to meet the former general,
but the meeting could not be materialized. |
