Condemning May 9 mayhem in the toughest of words, Senator Ali Zafar, a key member of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s legal team, on Thursday said that those involved in attacks on military installations could be tried under army laws.
Speaking outside the Lahore High Court, Senator Ali Zafar condemned attacks on Jinnah House and other military installations, demanding a thorough probe into the matter.
“Whoever is involved in this should be fully investigated. If any civilian attacks army property, action can be taken under the army act,” Barrister Ali Zafar said.
Zafar added that those who attacked army property in recent incidents could be arrested under Pakistan Army Act.
The barrister however advised against it.
“As normal courts are working, these cases [just like others] should also be tried in civilian courts as these are of political nature,” he maintained and called for fair trials.
“Attacking GHQ and Jinnah House is condemnable,” he said.
