ISLAMABAD: Interior Minister Rehman Malik on Tuesday tabled the Anti-Terrorism Amendment Bill 2010 in Senate.

The Senate Interior Committee will submit a report on the bill by Friday.

Addressing the Senate session, Rehman Malik vowed to take action wherever the government’s writ was challenged. He said he would soon unveil the elements involved in the unrest in Balochistan.

He said out of the 176 terrorists arrested from Balochistan, most were of Uzbek and Afghan origin.

“I am well aware of all the injustice meted out to Balochistan,” Malik said, adding that the parliament should call for the banning of Baloch separatist groups.

Meanwhile, senators’ hailing from Balochistan walked out from the session in protest against the minister’s remarks over the province.

“There might be some competent leaders in Balochistan but ineligible persons cannot be appointed on recommendations,” Malik remarked. (dawn)
