Malik vows civil guards for public schools

ISLAMABAD : Federal Interior Minister Rehman Malik Wednesday said full-fledged arrangements are being taken up for the security of the educational institutions, as 300 civil guards are being provided for the security of public schools. Talking to media here, he said nobody even thought of such an incident of terrorism at an educational institution, adding the security at educational institutes would be aggrandized. The interior minister said one main committee and three sub-committees have been instituted in a meeting held here in connection with the security. He informed that the federal capital has been divided in seven zones as regards the security, and the terror incident at Islamic University occurred at least 24 km away from Islamabad. Commenting upon the Indian allegations, Malik warned against them, saying Indian Home Minister should see about their home first, as it is beset with flaws, adding criticizing Pakistan would not set their issues aright. Rehman Malik stressed that Pakistan may give well-substantiated threats better than those India gave, adding Pakistani offer regarding negotiations should not be deemed as its frailty.
