Malik was summoned by the commission to explain his statements about Mansoor Ijaz’s security.

The Interior Minister said his statements regarding Ijaz were misquoted and he had never threatened anyone.

Malik further informed the commission that Mansoor Ijaz’s name was not being placed on the ECL.

Earlier during proceedings, the court asked about Mansoor Ijaz's absence from his counsel Akram Sheikh and said that Mansoor Ijaz is the prime witness, therefore, his security should be ensured.
