Rehman Malik makes Nawaz-Musharraf pardon deal public

Islamabad: (Tuesday, January 10, 2012) after four years of playing friendly opposition, memogate case has finally put Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP) and Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) on confrontation mode as representatives of the two largest parties
of the country are bent upon washing their dirty linen in the public.

Today, in one such deliberation, Interior Minister Rehman Malik distributed copies of pardon agreement deal between Nawaz Sharif and the former President Pervez Musharraf. The agreement shown by Malik was signed by Nawaz Sharif, Shahbaz Sharif, Abbas Sharif
and Husain Nawaz.

Speaking to the media personnel on the occasion, the interior minister talked of the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) and said that political parties other than Pakistan Peoples Party took more advantage of it. He claimed, “Only five people of PPP
benefitted from NRO.”

Completely forgetting the fact that the government he was a part of had refused to approve the NRO, Malik said that the ordinance was cleared by the cabinet of former Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz and was approved by the army.

Talking about the recent bone of contention between the two parties, the memogate issue, Malik asked the PML-N chief to explain his links with the central character of the scandal Mansoor Ijaz.

Giving a dramatic touch to his comments, the minister also said that his life was in danger and by airing the pardon agreement in the public, he was attempting to play with the fire. He said, “Contact my son Barrister Ali to get all proofs and documents
if I am killed.” He claimed that he had handed over the evidences against a number of people, including Nawaz Sharif to his son.
