Extremism rising in India too: Malik
14 March 2013 8:20 AM IST
Extremism is increasing in the region, including in India, while Islamabad's ‘proactive policies’ had ensured peace in most parts of Pakistan, Interior Minister Rehman Malik claimed on Wednesday.
‘Extremism is increasing even in India and there is a need to combat this menace, threatening peace in the world,’ Malik said.
Even developed countries were facing turbulence due to a typical mindset that is spreading violence, he contended. On the other hand, he claimed, peace has been ensured in Pakistan, except for the port city of Karachi, due to the government's ‘proactive policies’.
He contended that people could ‘roam even in areas which were once the hub of proscribed organisations’.
‘Now wherever we go, there is a peace. We can go to Gilgit and even to those areas which were once the hub of banned outfits. We can see peace and can roam without any fear,’ he said in an interview with state-run APP news agency. He added that Karachi is a mega-city with a large population and has ‘certain issues’ linked with political forces.
