Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah held a press conference after his meeting with the MQM-P leadership in their Bahadurabad office. The Prime Minister would meet and offer his condolences to the MQM-P leadership soon, he added.

Missing persons is a subject which causes humiliation to Pakistan on international platforms. Many international organizations question us regarding the missing person situation. Rana claimed that the government would do anything in their power to resolve the issue, he added. The Interior Minister said that the State is responsible for any missing person in the country. The suffering of missing persons’ families is worse than death, he added.

Talking about the speculations about the reemergence of the Taliban in Swat the Interior Minister said that the news is fake. Our security officials are on alert, and are performing operations on a daily basis, he added. He added that Imran Khan would be treated adequately if he marched toward Islamabad once again. They have prepared a ‘medicine’ for PTI leaders, which they will receive when they come to Islamabad, he added.

According to the TV channel, the Sanaullah is carrying a special message from Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif for the government’s allies. Recently, the MQM had threatened to quit the ruling coalition after the dumped bodies of three of their missing workers were found. They had also demanded that Prime Minister Shehbaz visit Karachi and inform them about the action taken by the government to recover the missing men.
