Stop listening to Nisar, IS very much in Pakistan: Wajahat S Khan
Wajahat Saeed Khan says Interior Minister must turn off the radio channel he is listening to
LAHORE: (Web Desk, Dunya News) – Dunya News Chief National Security Correspondent Wajahat Saeed Khan has on Saturday said that Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan was in denial as Islamic State (IS) was very much in Pakistan. He said the federal minister must turn off the radio channel he was listening to, reported Dunya News.
Talking to Dunya News on special transmission regarding Dargah Shah Noorani blast, Wajahat Saeed Khan said that Nisar was completely off the mark in his claims that IS didn’t exist in Pakistan.
“Frontier Corps (FC) says Daesh (IS) is in Pakistan, Peshawar CTD (Counter Terrorism Department) said last month that they arrested Daesh people and handlers, Sindh Rangers say Daesh boys were involved in the attack on the Ismaili community. Now, I have a lot of respect for Chaudhry [Nisar] but I’d suggest him to switch off the radio channel that he’s tuned into and take off his tinted glasses”, Wajahat said.
He added that FC, CTD, Karachi Rangers were all clear that IS existed in Pakistan. “Stop asking Chaudhry [Nisar] and ask the men directly dealing with this. You will know that IS is very much in Pakistan”, said Wajahat.
“And this is not just the current interior minister. I just received former Interior Minister Rehman Malik’s message, telling me to watch him on some TV channel discussing international relations. These are the people who have ruled this country, and at such a time they are telling people like me on Whatsapp to watch their shows on international relations. Dude, stop international relations, you were in power for five years and you’re doing your publicity at this moment”, he added.
Wajahat went to say that Prime Minister was all set to visit the area and there would be a big event there on Sunday.
“If there is one thing civil and military leaderships agree on today is China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). It is the one thing that has kept Rawalpindi and Islamabad still maintain a semblance of a working relationship. But listen to this: If you want this 50 billion dollars CPEC project to continue then wake up; there’s IS in Pakistan; Balochistan is underdeveloped; there is obviously some truth to the Reuters’ claims. And you cannot just get away with it simply by saying that the place was difficult to reach and Balochistan was backward. I don’t buy this. If you can make 150 nuclear warheads then you can also develop an infrastructure there”.
According to Dunya News, 47 have so far been reported dead while there are certain claims of 90 deaths and over 150 injured as well.
