Cases against me are politically motivated: Malik | Pakistan's Interior Minister Rehman Malik has rejected corruption charges against him, saying that charges are politically motivated. "Allegations are always there, allegations are on our judiciary. Allegations are on our leadership. Well, fine. If the Supreme
Court wants us to go a second time to the court, yes, we'll go, we'll clear it.
But until proven guilty, nobody can say they are the right charges," The Dawn
quoted Malik, as saying. "The allegations are false, therefore, I'm not worried
at all,. We think that it's good that we go through that process and clear our
names, though our names are already clear," he added. Malik is among thousands
of bureaucrats and politicians who were granted amnesty by the now-nullified National
Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO). Many Pakistanis viewed the ordinance as protecting
the elite at the expense of the poor. But Malik said the amnesty was fair. "This
was basically an agreement between all the political leadership that any politically
victimised person should be given a leave immediately so we can get all the political
leadership in Pakistan to take part in election," he said. |
