A Lahore sessions court has summoned Pakhtunkhwa Milli Awami Party (PkMAP) chief Mahmood Khan Achakzai on December 24. He was summoned over a plea seeking to book him for using ‘inappropriate remarks’ during the Pakistan Democratic Movement’s (PDM) Lahore rally, and attempting to create unrest.
Lahore sessions court Judge Rizwan Aziz issued the summon while hearing petitioner Tanveer Irshad’s plea. The petitioner maintained that Achakzai delivered an inappropriate speech to please foreign enemies whilst also hurting the sentiments of the local citizens. Therefore, he stated, the court should promptly issue an order to register a case against him.
The PkMAP chief during the PDM rally at the Minar-e-Pakistan had apparently said that the people of Lahore had supported the British rulers along with Hindus and Sikhs. During the gathering, the PkMAP leader had said, “Lahorites, I want you to pledge that you will fully participate in the war for the supremacy of Constitution and democracy in the country.”
