PML-N leader and Federal Minister Mian Javed Latif has said that the PTI chairman is involved in the May 9 riots, calling for bringing to book the masterminds of these violent incidents.
Addressing a presser here on Wednesday, Latif said that since the beginning, his party has been saying that PTI Chairman Imran Khan was behind the violent episode of May 9.
He said that the PML-N was proved right when trials of the accused were held and punishments awarded.
“It’s very necessary to award punishment to the masterminds of May 9-10 incidents,” the minister said, adding that the country should be sacred for everyone.
He supported the military trials of civilians in order to stop the redo of May 9 incidents. He said that May 9 rioters should be tried and hanged in the square so that we could save our country.
He wondered why people are filing petitions against Army Act now. He said this Act has been there since 1952.
Replying to those who criticized them for condemning institutions in the past, the minister said, “Yes, we criticized those institutions which violated constitution and gave judgements which created racial discrimination and brought about country’s economic destruction. We were justified to criticize them.”
But he said that never in the history of the country, Army was made target and military installations were attacked.
He said that May 9 spasm was in fact an attack on the state.
