ISLAMABAD: Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan told the National Assembly on Monday that some 100,000 foreigners live illegally in the slum settlements around Islamabad, and many of them were criminals.
“If I reveal the real facts to you, many among you will have sleepless nights,” the minister said in a grave voice during the Question Hour.
“They are involved in all kinds of crime in the federal capital,” he added, without elaborating, when asked about the nature of their crimes. But he did mention Bari Imam and the D-12 sector as their favourite abodes.
That could be a startling disclosure only to the recently elected MNAs. For the ordinary citizens of Islamabad, the presence of the ‘dreadful foreign criminal elements’ in their midst has been common knowledge, and a menace, for long.
“Soon after taking over the charge of my ministry, I initiated a registration process of the people living in katchi abadis, which, after a few hiccups, has been completed,” Chaudhry Nisar informed the house with visible satisfaction.
“In the beginning, people with vested interests created the impression that the registration wasn’t possible, and that if pushed the effort would result in an ugly law and order situation in the city.
“Undeterred by such misgivings, we directed the police officials to complete the registration process or face the music,” said the minister, ruing that successive governments paid no attention to the mushroom growth of the illegal settlements on the fringes of Islamabad.
