KARACHI: A petition was filed against Federal Interior Minister Rehman Malik’s tour of India, alleging illegal use of taxpayers’ money for the tour and for offering hospitality to the family of Sarabjit Singh at the Karachi registry of the Supreme Court on Tuesday, DawnNews reported.
The petitioner has called for the recovery of the expenses incurred on Malik’s tour, stating that the funds utilised for the tour were spent from the national treasury and therefore, should be returned by the federal interior minister.
The petition also claimed that Malik caused great embarrassment to the people of Pakistan by announcing that visas would be granted to the family members of the jailed Indian spy, Sarabjit Singh, who is allegedly responsible for a large number of Pakistani deaths.
The petition added that the interior minister vowed to extend hospitality to Singh’s family, which was detrimental to national interests.
Moreover, the petition maintained the stance that the initiatives taken in India between the Indian delegation and Rehman Malik were illegal.
The petition requested the Supreme Court to try Rehman Malik for treason under Articles 5 and 6 of the Constitution.
Raise taxes and provide jobs to people so they can do some meanigful work. Seems
every Joe wish to be political expert because he or she has no work to perform.
Rehman Malik is nither ‘Sadiq’ nor ‘Ameen’. He is free to do any thing. Catch him if you can?
I did know that we have no shortage of such —– people in Pakistan but I definitely didn’t know that we have so many.
for God sake when will you understand… both our countries need to be friends…
This petition is a joke.
The only issues the SC has not taken notice of are it’s own working, spending and performance of lower courts.
SC is one big joke now!
It is not SC’s fault that somebody files a petition in the SC. SC is the only control left, on the out of control government. Long live the Chief Justice.
I agree with the petitioner
I agree as well but what would be the out come.what is the point. What was the out come of the previous charges leveled against Mr. Rehman. We never got the picture right they are not not accountable to any one. Not even to the supreme laws.
hehehehe … funny …
