LAHORE: Senior leader of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Dr Yasmin Rashid on Thursday demanded legal action against Punjab Chief Minster Maryam Nawaz, alleging that she wore a police uniform without being recruited, which was a punishable offense.
Speaking to media outside the Anti-Terrorism Court, Dr Yasmin Rashid emphasized that anyone other than police official wearing police uniform commits a crime.
She criticized the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) for allegedly trying to secure a deal for Nawaz’s release, stating that PTI would not resort to such tactics.
She also expressed frustration over the delay in processing her own bail applications, claiming they have been pending for months without resolution.
In a show of support for imprisoned PTI leaders, she described Sanam Javed and Alia Hamza as symbol of resilience. “Despite facing political oppression, they remain undeterred”, she added.
Sanam is currently held at Sargodha Jail.
Meanwhile, the Lahore Anti-Terrorism Court, presided over by Judge Arshad Javed, has set May 9 as the date for the next hearing of two cases related to the burning of a PML-N office.
The accused, brought from Sargodha Jail for the court appearance, will face charges in connection with the incidents. The court has adjourned the trial proceedings of both cases until May 8, summoning the accused to face the charges at the upcoming hearing.
