Prime Minister's Special Assistant Naeemul Haq said on Tuesday that there were many hurdles in changing the decades old system, and during the last five months, change was brought about at personality level only
Addressing a press conference here, he added that tragic incident of Sahiwal, Model Town and killing of Naqeebullah Mehsud were the result of obsolete police system. However, Prime Minister Imran Khan was committed to changing this non-delivering system at all costs so as to ensure justice and restoration of public confidence in the government, he added.
To a question, he explained that in the Model Town carnage, the then government's direct orders were involved, while in Sahiwal incident no such factor was found. Demand for giving a 30 days extension to Joint Investigation Team (JIT) on Sahiwal incident was totally unacceptable, he said, asserting that officials of Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) were guilty as they opened fire at innocent family.
Naeemul Haq assured that after presentation of the Sahiwal JIT report, the government would take exemplary measures and ensure that such incidents do not happen in future.
To another question, he said that Prime Minister was being properly informed about Daesh; however, there was no such danger in Pakistan.
PM's Special Assistant mentioned that despite all odds, the government brought drastic changes in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) police system.
To a question, he said that decision to appoint Shehbaz Sharif as chairman of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) was taken to break the political log-jam and initiate legislation process in the parliament.
Responding to reporters' queries, he said that though Pakistan was still facing challenges, the severe economic crisis had now over due to financial assistance by the friendly countries. Despite huge challenges and economic constraints, he said, the PTI was managing to run the government affairs.
He said that PTI Additional Secretary Ejaz Chaudhry would also perform his responsibilities in Punjab as well.
