**KARACHI: ****Sindh Senior Minister Zulfiqar Mirza on Sunday announced his resignation from the government during an emotional press briefing at the Karachi press Club.
**Mirza also announced his resignation from the Sindh Assembly, adding that his earlier ministry post had been changed to Sindh senior minister due to political blackmail.
Deploring conditions in Karachi, Mirza said that he would have brought peace to Karachi within 15 days if he had been given a free hand.
Mirza said after his resignation he would work on his own to deliver justice to the people of Karachi and Sindh.
***Criticism of Rehman Malik
***Mirza alleged that Interior Minister Rehman Malik is “hand in glove with terrorists” and that he has evidence that will implicate him. He said that he will forward this evidence to the government, army and intelligence agencies if the need arises.
“I have repeatedly told the PPP leadership that Rehman Malik is a pathological liar,” said Mirza. While acknowledging that Malik is a “good politician and good human being”, he maintained that he is also a “compulsive liar”.
He added that if Pakistan was harmed in the future, it would be Rehman Malik’s fault.
*MQM Lambasted
*Zulfiqar Mirza said that there is a “manipulated” mandate in Karachi and Hyderabad and that the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) has exploited people’s sentiments.
Mirza also alleged that the MQM was behind the murder of Wali Khan Babar](Wali Khan Babar murder: One by one, 4 men linked to investigations bumped off), a Geo News reporter who was shot dead in Liaquatabad No. 1 near the Apwa school as he was going home from office.
Mirza added that in his tenure, **out of 10,000 police officials appointed in Sindh, he ensured that not one appointment was MQM-based, as “there should be no room for killers in the police”.

**Zulfiqar Mirza stated that Pakistan is in existence due to the “extra efforts” of the military and the ISI in particular.
**He called the ISI one of the top agencies in the country.
