GUESTS- SENETAOR TARIQ AZEEM, RANA SANAULLAH, SAHIBZADA ABU UL KHER, KHWAJA IZHAR UL HASAN,

SENETOR TARIQ AZEEM OF PML (N) said that terrorist bomb blasts on the top of the shortage of gas, electricity and water is really hard to swallow for Pakistani people. He said that Islam preaches that the killing of one human being is like the killing of whole humanity. He said that if there is a foreign hand behind terrorism in Pakistan then Rehman Malik should take the parliament in to confidence on the subject. He said that the world which accuses Pakistan for terrorism should know that who is behind the terrorism against Pakistan. He said that in close camera session of the parliament it was told that weapons for terrorism are being supplied from India through Afghanistan. He said that if that is the case then Rehman Malik should loud his voice publicly. He said that the war against terrorism is not our war it is enforced on Pakistan. He said that a parliamentary committee was formed to design a policy on terrorism against Pakistan. He said that it is so unfortunate that there is not even single meeting held of this committee till today. He said that in case of the failure of the civil government military can be called to control any situation. He said that the situation in Karachi is so precarious that military should be called. Commenting on the accusation that Rana Sanaullah supports some terrorist organization he said that no one can support those who are killing innocent Pakistani people. He said that all political parties should put politics aside and should have a consensus that how to fight the menace of terrorism. He said that once political parties work out a policy against terrorism it should be implemented right away.

RANA SANAULLAH OF PML (N) said that there is an option in the constitution to call military in extreme situations. He said that there is not such a situation in Punjab that military should be called. He said that terrorists who attacked religious sites come from Wazirastan. He said there are almost thirteen terrorists groups working from Wazirastan. He said that attacks on the shrine of Data Sahib and Karbala Gamey Shah in Lahore are the conspiracy to divide Pakistani nation. He called the blame on himself by some religious scholars to support terrorist organizations a national tragedy. He said that he never supported any terrorist organization in his life. He said that this accusation was labeled on him by late ex governor of Punjab Salman Taseer during an election campaign for political reasons. On the question that why he released Qari Saifullah Akhter accused for terrorism he said that it was ISI who freed Qari Akhter not him. He said that Qari Saifullah Akhter was once accused for Benazir murder but ISI did not find any proof against him in the investigations. He said that Qari Saifullah Akhter some times is arrested just in case and released when situation calm down.

SAHIBZADA ABU UL KHER OF JUP said that there is a foreign hand involved in terrorism against Pakistan. He said that it is surprising that government is unable to find that hidden hand behind terrorism. He said some government people are also behind terrorist organizations. Asking that who is from the government supporting terrorist organizations he said that Rana Sanaullah home minister of Punjab is accused by some people.

KHWAJA ABU UL HASSAN OF MQM said that religious scholars of all cast should unanimously condemn terrorism in Pakistan. He said that some people are trying to make Pakistan fight on the bases of language and religion. He said that military in Karachi will only be called if situation demands for it. He said that the government should be focused on terrorism as top priority.
