ISLAMABAD: Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan on Monday challenged Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari to answer three questions regarding his “corruption”. “From where did Zardari acquire the Dubai palace? How and from where did Zardari acquire Surrey Palace? From where did Zardari make $60 million and where is the money right now?” Nisar asked while talking to newsmen. The interior minister also took a jibe at Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan for partnering with the PPP in a joint drive for the disqualification Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. “Imran should question Bilawal about his father’s properties in Dubai and London before allowing the PPP chairman to sit on the container beside him,” Nisar said. As the talks between the government and the opposition over terms of reference (ToRs) for the Panamagate inquiry have collapsed, the PTI and PPP have announced plans for a series of protests after Eidul Fitr. Regarding the upcoming elections in Azad Kashmir, Nisar said army troops will be deployed during the polls to ensure free and fair elections. “Transparency and fairness in elections in AJK is extremely important in view of sham elections across the Line of Control (LoC), and we are trying to ensure fair elections upon which no one can raise a finger,” he told the newsmen. Despite other commitments such as deployment in anticipated floods, Pakistan Army has committed to provide troops for the purpose, while Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have also been asked to contribute forces, he said and added that in all 22,000 personnel would be deployed for elections in Azad Kashmir by 18th or 19th of this month. Earlier, the interior minister inaugurated the National Database Registration Authority (Nadra)’s mega-centre in the federal capital. “CNIC issuance and registration of family and children facilities will be provided at the centre,” Radio Pakistan quoted a spokesperson for the Interior Ministry as saying. “The centre will be capable of processing two thousand applications for Computerised National Identity Cards on a daily basis.” Replying to a question, Nisar said Rangers in Karachi were mandated to tackle terrorism, extortion, kidnapping for ransom and target killings. The minister, however, confessed there had been a rise in street crimes in the metropolis. “There has been much progress in one of the two incidents of killing of Amjad Sabri and kidnapping of the son of the chief justice of Sindh High Court.”
