PUNJAB GOVT GIVES PTI 24 HOURS TO HAND OVER ‘TERRORISTS’ HIDING IN ZAMAN PARK,

Punjab Chief Minister Mohsin Naqvi Wednesday gave a 100 per cent guarantee that no innocent person will be arrested in reference to the May 9 tragedy.

Talking to media persons during his visit to Faisalabad on Wednesday, he assured that only those responsible for the May 9 tragedy will be brought to justice.

In replying to queries related to establishing the army courts, CM Naqvi categorically said that no separate courts are being established in the country because the Army has its own law, and will take action under its law as per the act.

Punjab CM Naqvi also said that no exemption will be given to those responsible for mischief in the country on May 9.

The Chief Minister of Punjab said that the army has its own law and no one interferes. If someone attacks an army building, the army will act according to the law, he added.

CM Punjab further said that being a caretaker government, they cannot release all the funds.

He also made a promise to the people of Faisalabad that he promised the martyr’s father that this square has been desecrated, and now this square will soon become a memorial square of Pakistan.

“30 to 40 terrorists who attacked Army installations including Jinnah House are present in Zaman Park,” Punjab Caretaker Information Minister Aamir Mir said while addressing a press conference.

“The intelligence report that has come is very alarming,” said Mir. “Handover the terrorists within 24 hours or the law will take its course.”

“PTI is starting to behave like a non-state actor,” said Mir. He added that the PTI chief has been targeting the military for over a year and urged the party to hand over the “terrorists”.

The minister claimed multiple people were in touch with Zaman Park during the attack on the Corps Commander House.
