Punjab’s caretaker chief minister Mohsin Naqvi while delineating losses in protests Sunday said that 108 vehicles were gutted in the province. “In Lahore, police vehicles, 12 buses, motorbikes, six Wasa vehicles, eight Rescue 1122 vehicles and a car in a car showroom were set on fire,” Naqvi said. “Protesters damaged 23 buildings including Corps Commander’s house in Lahore,” he said. The provincial chief minister said that military installations and government properties were attacked under a plan. “Around 34 attackers were involved in attack on Jinnah House Lahore,” he added.
The rioters and arsonists burnt safe city cameras on May 09 and two metro stations in Lahore, he said. “Each and every attacker is being pointed out and all will be brought to justice,” he said.
“Around six billion losses have been estimated in rioting incidents so far,” CM Naqvi said. “In Gujranwala an Army check post and a private building was gutted, while in Multan buses and police coasters were burnt,” he said.
Syed Mohsin Raza Naqvi has said that the attack on Mianwali Airbase was not symbolic, rather it was carried out after a comprehensive planning.
The chief minister claimed that the whole footage of the airbase attack was in their possession. “The Mianwali airbase attack was not symbolic. It was orchestrated after a thorough planning,” Naqvi said, vowing to take this case to the logical conclusion and punish every attacker.— NNI
