Interior Minister Rehman Malik on Tuesday said that Pakistan will take stern action against Afghan security forces, if they again committed border violations. Rehman Malik said that if Afghan government again committed border violation, Pakistan would take action against Afghan security forces. Afghan security forces cross the border and attack Pakistani citizens and security forces. He said this while talking to reporters after launching of Smart-Card at National Database and Registration Authority's (Nadra) headquarters.
To a question regarding Fazlullah, he said that government of Pakistan had made several requests to Afghan government in this regard.

He also said that Lashkar-e-Jhangvi might undertake terrorist activities in different cities of Punjab in the next few days.
About Asghar Khan Case, he said that the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) had started examining different legal aspects of the case for taking action the ex servicemen and civilian accused of distributing or receiving money. "FIA will take action against those accused in Asghar Khan Case under the law," he said.

He said that government has withdrawn the authority of black listing the citizens on charge of counterfeiting from NADRA, as well as announced amnesty for citizen who possesses two Computerised National Identity Cards (CNIC) or Passport. He said that no penalty will be imposed on citizens, who voluntarily surrender one CNIC and Passport and no action will be taken against them.
