ISLAMABAD
Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi attended a special conference as a chief guest of FIA officers in Islamabad. He met newly appointed Assistant Directors, Inspectors, and officers posted in Islamabad, and held detailed discussions on their professional responsibilities.
The Interior Minister personally listened to the issues faced by FIA personnel and assured their resolution. Addressing the participants, he stated that with the appointment of the new DG, the FIA would be transformed into an active and efficient institution under dynamic leadership. A target has been set to make the FIA a modern, dynamic, and effective organization by December 31, 2026. Eliminating shortcomings and improving systems are top priorities.
He emphasized that all necessary facilities would be provided to FIA staff and that promotion is the right of every employee, with improvements planned in the service structure. Ensuring promotions for officers is essential. The Interior Minister also announced the allocation of plots for the families of all FIA martyrs. He added that a comprehensive welfare plan is being developed, including education, healthcare, and other facilities.
After ensuring the provision of all resources, a strict zero-tolerance policy against corruption will be implemented. No leniency or soft corner will be shown for those involved in corruption. Honest officers will be provided full protection and job security. “If you stand for truth and justice, the government will stand with you,” he stated.
Mohsin Naqvi further said that the strength of FIA personnel would be increased, as the current workforce from 2008 is insufficient to meet present challenges. The FIA will play a key role in the “Hardening the State” policy. It is the only federal institution capable of enforcing the writ of the federal government across the country. Strengthening the FIA into the most reliable and robust institution is a top priority.
DG FIA Dr. Usman Anwar also addressed the conference. Minister of State for Interior Talal Chaudhry and Federal Secretary Interior Khurram Agha were also present on the occasion.
