ISLAMABAD: Minister for Interior Rana Sanaullah Khan on Tuesday said that attack on the judicial complex is a conspiracy to hold the judicial system hostage and get arbitrary decisions.
In a statement, the minister said that a ‘person’ along with an armed group tried to hold the judicial system hostage. This is the same person who has neither answered to foreign funding nor to the theft of billions from Tosha Khana, he added.
Rana Sanaullah said that a case has been registered for the attack on the judicial complex. He said those involved in this incident are being identified through CCTV cameras and everyone including Imran Khan will be arrested.
The minister said that Imran Khan’s motivation to do the such act is a result of the special treatment given to him. He appealed to the judiciary not to spare such lawbreakers as this is a matter of its honour and respect and no relaxation to be given under any circumstances.
Strict legal action will be taken against hooligans and those not respecting law, he maintained.
Case registered for vandalism at Judicial Complex
The Islamabad Police has registered a case against vandalism at the Judicial Complex Islamabad during the appearance of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan in courts.
The first information report (FIT), registered under ATA 7/353 and other sections, stated that arms were recovered from some persons in the crowd and it was an attempted attack on the Judicial Complex in Sector G-11.
It noted that security arrangements at the Judicial Complex were disrupted as the PTI workers removed all the barriers during their leader’s appearances in the different courts. Some of the workers even vandalised the building and undermined the decorum of the courts.
The Islamabad Police spokesperson, in a post on Twitter, said at least 25 persons had been arrested with a Kalashnikov and other weapons.
Under a premeditated plan, he said, the mob attempted to attack the Islamabad High Court and the Judicial Complex. Police teams had been dispatched to different provinces to arrest the people involved in the incident, he added.
The spokesperson, in a statement, claimed that the leaders of a political party provoked the mob, who resorted to vandalism.
He said the government property was damaged at the Judicial Complex, while the police managed to prevent the mob from damaging the high court.
