Minister for Defence Khawaja Muhammad Asif Thursday said the accountability of the perpetrators of May 9th mayhem would reach to its logical conclusion as it was a matter of sanctity of the martyrs’ and 240 million Pakistanis’ pride in their Armed Forces.

Addressing the news conference flanked by Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar, the Defence Minister termed the attacks on military installations as tantamount to country enmity. Khawaja Asif said the Armed Forces and civil law enforcement agencies are fighting the war for the country’s survival and rendering sacrifices every day during the ongoing war on terror.

The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) deliberately damaged the prestige of the state institution under its inimical motive, he alleged. The Defence Minister accused the PTI for making the Army Chief’s appointment controversial whereas the appointment was the only prerogative of the Prime Minister.

While addressing press conference, Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar requested the judiciary to take the May 9, 2024 cases to a logical end.

The information minister wondered what was the reason that the courts did not take these cases to their logical conclusion. He said that the evidence in the May 9 cases was clear and the identity of the attackers was known.

Even it was clear who entered inside various buildings and who stood outside and gave instructions, he noted. Tarar said that Imran’s three sisters were involved in the May 9 attacks but none of them was booked. Answering a question, he said that during Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf rule, instructions were issued to prison authorities to force incarcerated Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz leaders to sit on the floor in the biting cold of December.

Moreover, they were not provided chairs and pillows, he added.
