Will make ‘full effort’ to arrest Imran
Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah on Wednesday said that ‘full effort’ would be made to arrest Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chief Imran Khan after the ‘intolerable’ attack on the judicial complex.
During a presser in Islamabad, the minister questioned what kind of politics was taking place within the judicial complex, adding that if anyone committed violence in the judicial complex they would be tried under the Anti-Terrorism Act.
His statement comes shortly after another case was lodged against hundreds of PTI workers, including Imran Khan, for alleged vandalism outside Islamabad’s judicial complex.
Sana stated that the way the judiciary was ‘tolerating’ Imran’s disdainful attitude, he could easily appear before the court with a couple of guards, instead of a mob of people.
According to the minister, Imran came to the complex with crimi nal intent and that it was “not a difficult task” to gather a few thousand people to attack the complex. He main tained that attacking courts was an act of terrorism and two cases had been lodged over the incident.
“So far, 29 people have been arrested and 200 people have been named,” he detailed. Sana reiterated that Imran was the mastermind behind the ‘entire criminal act’.
The minister also appealed to the populace to recognise Imran for “who he is” and to “toss him out” with their votes. He maintained that through such acts, not only are the courts disrespected, they are unable to perform their duties.
