Islamabad : Advisor to Prime Minister on Interior Rehman Malik has said that Asif Ali Zardari, co-chairman PPP has been shifted to Prime Minister House due to security considerations. Talking to BBC Radio, he said the other presidential candidates Justice (retd) Siddiquzzaman Siddiqui and Mushahid Hussain were also being provided the same level of strict security.
“We lost our sister and great leader Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto and we don’t want the repetition of similar incident”.
To a question, he said “Zardari is the co-chairman of the party and we think that PM House is the safe place in prevailing situation”.
Pervez Musharraf was provided the same security as he was enjoying during the presidentship, Rehman Malik said, adding being the former President of Pakistan, security is his right.
“Even we deputed the same officers that he selected himself for security purposes. Pervez Musharraf is in the country and still at the Army office and the parliament would decide about him”.
To a question, he said a former chief can legally live in his official residence up to a certain period.
