ISLAMABAD: Former interior minister
and senior leader of the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) ex-Senator Abdul Rehman
Malik claimed that Secretary General United Nations ordered the inquiry into
COVID-19 by constituting high powered committee headed by former prime minister
of New Zealand Ms. Helen Clark who will assisted by 40 experts from UN and
other countries.
“Let us see what would be the
outcome of the investigations by biologists and doctors,” he said in an
interview with The News. Rehman Malik said it is in the interest of humanity
that this investigation has started to determine the zero patient and nature of
this virus. He mentioned that he was the one in the whole world who requested
in writing to probe the nature of this virus.
He appreciated the Secretary
General United Nations for this great step against many odds. “The world will
be looking forward to see the outcome of this investigation by the high powered
team,” he said. Rehman Malik said soon after the outbreak of COVID-19, he wrote
a letter to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on 4th April 2020, to
constitute a high-powered commission to probe if COVID-19 is a man-made or a
naturally grown virus and to locate its origin. “I had suggested that the
proposed commission on COVID-19 under the UN Convention on Biological Weapons,
1975 which might comprise virologists, scientists, professors, researchers,
analysts, and experts in the fields of microbiology and virology,” he said. He
said he had suggested that the commission should present its report to the UN
Secretary-General in at the earliest, and its ‘terms of reference’ (ToR) should
include recommendations to prevent future outbreak of such viruses, and
international standards for coordination in case of a outbreak.
He said in his letter, he had
demanded seven ToRs for the UN Commission on COVID-19, which include accurate
identification of the geo-location of the origin of COVID-19, identification of
areas with zero patient, discovery as to why the behaviour, intensity, and
fertility rate of COVID-19 varies from country to country; investigation
whether COVID-19 is a man-made or naturally-grown virus and examination of the
allegations of transportation of the virus from one place to other destinations
in the world, as ‘biological warfare tactics.
Rehman Malik said he had also written a letter to Bill Gates to assist the UN through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation as he had given categorical statements about such a virus will kill numerous people while speaking at various international forums in 2015 & 2017.
He said Nobel Laureate and
Distinguished Professor Tasuku Honjo of the Kyoto University Institute of
Advanced Study, reportedly, has stated that all indicators of the COVID-19
suggest that it is a man-made virus. “He has even claimed that in case he is proven
wrong, he will surrender his Nobel Prize and if he is not proven right then the
government of Japan withdraws his award post his death,” he said.
Senator Rehman Malik said he warned
people of Pakistan in March, this year that pattern of this virus shows that
second wave would be bad and third will be bad to worse. ‘I had advised the
government to increase beds, oxygen and all required medicines and other
medical equipment but the government did not act on the advice,” he said.
