LAHORE: Punjab’s Information Minister Fayyazul Hassan Chohan on Friday said former interior minister Rehman Malik was in charge of Benazir Bhutto’s security in Rawalpindi public gathering, ARY News reported.
This he said while addressing a press conference in Lahore, here today. “Malik reached Zardari House after the attack over Benazir Bhutto in Liaquat Bagh instead of rushing to the hospital”, claimed Fayyazul Hassan Chohan.
Bilawal Bhutto Zardari should ask from his father that why Rehman Malik reached Zardari House by leaving her mother [BB] alone.
