So I sense a lot of hate at this guy, pretty much right as soon as he got into government so it can’t be anything he’s done since the election. What’s the problem with him, and if he’s so bad, why does the PPP back him?
Re: Rehman Malik
PPP supports him coz he is bad, he is bad coz PPP supports him.
aint this a wonderful circle?
Re: Rehman Malik
Biggest problem with Rahman Malik is that people doubt he is patriotic. He is the classic slimeball intelligence agency dude, who has risen up by kissing the arses of his boses, is known as cunning (not honest or straight forward), back-stabber, will make a deal with the devil if his self-interests require it, and is completely unreliable to stick to any kind of principles. Now granted, this can be said about many other politicians in Pakistan too; the rub is this dude is not even elected, and gets into corridors of power bcz of his wheeling and dealing with powers-that-be. What he wheels and deals remains a big question. He was the original Mushy sympathizer in BB's inner circle.
And to boot, the guy is incompetent. He was BB's security chief, and some say BB died bcz of his ineptitude, while others say she died because he masterminded the whole thing. Take your pick.
Re: Rehman Malik
Some people also hate him because he looks of african origin.

Here may be your answer:

:o
It may not be "PPP" backing him but more likely AAZ!
Some people also hate him because he looks of african origin.
Those people must be from Africa to recognize him!
i don't know much about this monkey either. But not knowing much about him, he looks and sounds like shady character. With this Islamabad thing that happened someone would have been held accountable and resigned. But this guy got a free hand to drop more bombs in it's own country. I agree with Faisal.
Qala baazi that was pretty funny.
Re: Rehman Malik
We were discussing the same guy couple of days ago
My friend says that in pakistani govt / establishment 90% of the corrupt officials are ‘competent’ but 95 % of the honest officials are incompetent 
Though one can differ with percentage but
Rehman Malik is a unique namoona who is corrupt and incompetent.
Re: Rehman Malik
Whats sad is that amongst the sorry lot zardari has around him, hes the one out shining everyone else.
I never liked him, and its not just a post-election feeling. He was a chief khabees FIA walla back then in BBs times. He was also negotiating deals with Musharraf, and at one time tried to use the ANP as the scapegoat, and used to run away from the press after he got shunned by them.
Well, you sense lot of hate for this guy because you are probably living around those people who hate that this guy as deputy head of FIA Pakistan exposed corruption of Nawaz Shareef, Nawaz family members and many of Nawaz cronies. Obviously Nawaz was not looting the country alone and have bought loyalty of many who may have made a lot of money because of Nawaz and are thus loyal to Nawaz, so it is natural that many such people would hate Rahman Malik too and their propaganda made others to hate him too.
Nawaz tried to buy out Rahman Malik unsuccessfully. So when Nawaz got into power, Nawaz not only got him sacked from government service (as usual of Nawaz, as Nawaz always use to do to whoever he did not liked, thinking that government servants are his personal employees), but Nawaz also imprisoned him and Nawaz goons tortured Rahman Malik badly throughout he was in prison (again, normal behaviour of Nawaz and his goons that if they succeed imprisoning anyone who came in their way or tried to expose their corruption, Nawaz and his goons use to do third degree torture to them while they were helpless prisoners, something they also did with Zardari, even tried to murder Zardari).
Here is one of many stories of Rahman Malik from British Newspaper, and his torture in the hands of Nawaz Mafia and Nawaz’s third grade goons.

Article history
They tortured Rehman Malik by placing his hands and feet on ice for up to an hour at a time at a ‘safe house’ in Islamabad. Three years on, he still has trouble feeling sensations in his palms and soles from the punishment, meted out in black masks, by Nawaz Sharif’s heavies.
His neck, too, bears the painful crick from a year spent in solitary confinement in a tiny cell at Rawalpindi’s Adila jail with a brick wrapped in newspapers for a pillow. Malik, in mortal fear of convicted terrorists and official hatchet men, found his monthly half-hour visit from his seven-year-old son his single comfort.
Three times following his arrest in November 1996 the courts ordered Malik’s release. Each time he was re-arrested on trumped up charges until, after 12 months of humiliation, the Pakistani Supreme Court itself ruled his detention illegal.
Malik’s crime? To have been the deputy head of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), Pakistan’s equivalent of the FBI, investigating allegations of massive corruption by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, his family and cronies.
At 46, he was the youngest officer to reach such a senior rank, the equivalent of an army major-general. In a 20-year career, Malik had gained an impressive reputation in the West for anti-terrorist expertise, including investigation of the 1993 World Trade Centre bombing in New York and of Saudi fundamentalist Osama bin Laden. And, after Malik’s inquiries were publicised by The Observer last year, he started a ball rolling which culminated in the coup against Sharif. ‘I have suffered enormously from doing my duty as a civil servant. My friends, family and colleagues have been harassed. My life has been at risk,’ Malik told The Observer in his first UK interview since fleeing Pakistan for London after an attempt on his life 15 months ago. ‘I am not a politician, but I welcome the army’s action. They have saved Pakistan from someone who was ruining the country. As a career officer, I would like to return to fulfil my official obligations as soon as possible.’
He is also promising further explosive revelations, which will implicate Sharif and senior Muslim League politicians in allegedly creaming off more of the country’s wealth overseas.
Malik’s report last year was painful enough for the deposed Prime Minister, as were the cat-and-mouse tactics by which Malik has been a thorn in his side since. The 200-page report, smuggled into the country on Sharif’s official Jumbo jet, set out a secret web of fake bank accounts and firms in offshore tax havens through which Sharif’s family allegedly siphoned off more than $70 million (£40m) into London property, Swiss investments and banks in New York.
The family, whose empire grew hugely while Sharif was in office, was also accused of defaulting on $120m of state bank loans, a favourite way of milking the public purse.
According to further documents seen by The Observer, however, the revelations appear to be the tip of an iceberg. Following inquiries over the past year, Malik **says he has established further channels by which the Sharif family channelled money illegally offshore. **
They include $2.74m allegedly deposited in the account of an Essex-based Pakistani family at the Atlas BOT (Bank of Tokyo) Investment Bank in Lahore as security for loans to four Sharif family members. They also include $4.6m deposited at the Al Faysal Investment Bank in Islamabad as security for a loan to Hamza Board Mills, a paper and forestry firm in the Sharif family’s Ittefaq group.
Among all his amassed wealth, Sharif also appears to have concealed ownership of a Russian-made Ulan helicopter, which he used during election campaigns. The aircraft, worth more than $1m, was bought from an Arab prince, Sheikh Abdul Rehman Bin Nasir Al Thani of Qatar, in November 1996 and registered in Sharif’s name at the Pakistani Civil Aviation Authority, according to official documents obtained by Malik. It was, however, not declared on Sharif’s statutory filing of assets and liabilities to the country’s Election Commission. ‘This was a man who once told me he could not afford a second-hand Mercedes. How then could he buy a helicopter?’ Malik asks.
Most explosive of all, however, is likely to be Malik’s new investigation, which is almost concluded and alleges laundering of more than $100m offshore via a network of UK trusts, Swiss accounts and offshore havens including Liechtenstein.
An Observer investigation has revealed other instances of alleged corruption during Sharif’s last administration:
• In an emergency budget after Pakistan’s nuclear tests last year, import duties on luxury cars were cut from 325 per cent to 125 per cent. A week later they were restored. In between a friend of Sharif imported 80 cars.
• In 1996 senior figures at Bankers Equity Limited, a finance house, granted a huge loan, believed to be more than £10m, to close associates of Sharif. Last summer the bank collapsed and several senior managers, including a friend of Sharif’s, were arrested. The loan is outstanding.
• After the 1997 elections the Sharif family, and their business concerns, were able to reschedule and renegotiate loans worth nearly £100m from eight banks. When ordered by courts to pay some back they surrendered 33 factories. Only one factory was fully operational, the rest closed, out of order, or both.
Sharif, his family and former Ministers have consistently dismissed the allegations as politically inspired.
Sharif himself is still in ‘preventative custody’, as the army calls it, in a government guesthouse on the outskirts of Islamabad. General Pervez Musharraf, the self-appointed Chief Executive of Pakistan, has not revealed his plans for the man ousted in a coup 10 days ago. Military sources say evidence is being gathered to put Sharif on trial for corruption and possibly treason.
Sharif’s former residence, the 100-acre Raiwind estate, near the city of Lahore in eastern Pakistan, is widely seen as a symbol of the opulent lifestyle the Sharifs have led since their pursuit of power and wealth began to pay off 15 years ago. Last week The Observer was the first Western newspaper to visit it since Sharif’s fall.
Brand new roads lead out of Lahore, where the Sharifs have two other houses, to the walled 100-acre estate. A turning leads to a helicopter pad and a set of steel gates. Beyond is an open, grassy compound where five houses, all in white-washed villa style, lie in a rough circle around a man-made pond. Each has a huge colonnaded porch sheltering a £20,000 four-wheel drive Jeep. Two of the buildings are partially constructed as is a pool, though a lake stocked with fish is completed. There is a small zoo.
All the houses are similar, with deep red carpets and velvet curtains throughout. Sharif’s own house is distinguished by the number of televisions - the Prime Minister was gadget crazy. Now army machine gunners have replaced the bodyguards who previously watched the compound’s perimeter. And the muzzles of their weapons point in as much as out.
Raiwind is, to the ousted Prime Minister’s critics at least, a symbol of how his administration manipulated government to benefit itself.
According to opposition spokesmen, Sharif has ‘used public office for personal economic gain’. It is corruption, they say, even if it is within the letter of the law.
Soon after coming to power for a second time in February 1997 Sharif declared the Raiwind site to be the ‘Prime Minister’s Camp Office’ - his home away from the capital. The local municipal authority took on the estate’s maintenance at an estimated annual cost of 40 million Pakistani rupees (£500,000) and built a new road for it, while the state has also supplied gas, electricity and a 200-line telephone exchange.
Near Raiwind last week feelings were mixed about Sharif’s fall. Many remain loyal to a man they see as a local boy made good. ‘He has done a lot round here,’ said Ahmadullah Ali, a farmer. ‘He is a good man.’ In the rough and tumble world of Pakistani politics Sharif may be down, but he still isn’t out.
I do not mean to say that Rahman Malik may not have done corruption, as he may have done corruption similar to most government employees in his position. Nevertheless, he and most other government employees in Pakistan are much lesser evil than most Pakistani politicians, especially big leaders of PMLN and PPPP, who not only do corruption but have destroyed the country.
Re: Rehman Malik
chalo Rehman Malik kisi ka to hero hay!

:fatee: Sa1eem bhai, when you post a reference to what you are saying its better to post the link and may be a few excerpts from the article.
Brother, I gave the link and also the article (for those who have no time to click the link) … you yourself quoted the link I gave, now what else do you want? 
Rehman Malik is a clerk (peon) turned adviser who (as Faisal bhai has rightly pointed out) rose to his present position by kissing the ar*es of his bosses. Ask yourself a simple Q, should a clerk ever rise to such a high position? Only in Pakistan can such undeserving people rise to the top. Besides he comes across as an incompetent, uneducated, unsophisticated and dishonest person. Do I need to say more?
He belongs in the same company as Sheikh Rasheed, Wasi Zafar, Ghulam Dustageer (another incompetent and dhugga minister in Zia's cabinet) and many other jaahil and sifarshi officers.
I dont like the guy period.
Something just about him and AAZ...causes jitters!
and for being charge of internal security, he must know why some of these incidents take place.
The whole PPP leadership at the moment is corrupt.
One reason I try to put the content on the link is because sometime content on the link disappears too. Once I had link of ‘Transparency International’ that showed Zardari name exposed as ‘drug smuggler’ by CIA agents working under cover, that later American government suppressed it as at the time government was of BB and USA did not wanted to derail government in Pakistan. The link also quoted British Newspaper with the story (and if one could search the archive, British newspaper still has that story). Anyhow, few years ago content from that link disappeared. Why? I do not know, as story in British Newspaper archive is still there.
Here are more stories about Rahman Malik and Nawaz Shareef: I am leaving the content as page is long but another reason is that, the page also has content in English as well as Urdu. Page also has other interesting links, but unfortunately all contents on those links disappeared (maybe corruption money could do wonders). I do not know how long the content on this link would stay.

Re: Rehman Malik
The guy is an idiot!
I have only heard him a few times but every time i hear his interview/ comments in clips i am shocked to see how low are the standards to be on appointed on prestigious post like his.
In his statement given right after the MArriott blast, he said* *" Main Vaaada Kaaarat Hou Key Kuch heee Dinoooun Main, Main Kuccch Suicide Bombers Paaish Kaar Key Dikhaaaoungaa. **
