Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has claimed that India could be involved in the murder of Aamir Tamba, one of the accused in the 2013 killing of Indian death row prisoner Sarabjit Singh.
Aamir Sarfaraz alia Tamba, one of the accused in the 2013 fatal attack on Indian death row prisoner Sarabjit Singh in Kot Lakhpat jail, died during treatment after he was seriously injured when unidentified motorcyclists opened fire on him on Sunday morning.
The attack took place in Lahore’s Islampura area, leaving Tamba critically wounded. His death was confirmed by his family sources, while hospital sources said he died due to excessive bleeding. The deceased was hit by four bullets, the sources added.
Speaking to the media during a press conference at the FIA office in Lahore, Naqvi claimed that India is suspected of being involved in Aamir Tamba’s murder, as some evidence has been found in this regard. “The case is being investigated,” he added.
He further stated that India was also involved in some incidents of terrorism in Pakistan.
He further said that in response to security concerns, the installation of electronic gates at airports was set to commence, aiming to enhance surveillance and thwart potential threats.
Furthermore, he said even the ordinary consumers using 300 units of electricity have been overbilled. He added that measures are being taken to prevent electricity theft, as 830 million units have been overbilled in LESCO.
“Work has started regarding overbilling as well the price of electricity,” Naqvi added.
Additionally, Pakistan’s continuous engagement with Afghanistan seeks to address mutual concerns about terrorism emanating from Afghan soil.
“Pakistan has reservations about terrorism emanating from Afghanistan. The mastermind of recent terrorist incidents is in Afghanistan,” Naqvi claimed.
He added that Pakistan was continuously talking to Afghanistan.
The interior minister also cautioned against making a big issue out of incidents like the Bahawalnagar incident, urging restraint and emphasizing the importance of diplomatic dialogue over sensationalism. “The morale is not declining. The Punjab government can better respond to the Bahawalnagar incident. Mudslinging should not be allowed!” he declared.
