Lahore: (Staff Reporter) Terming it a grave violation of the Lahore High Court orders, former Punjab chief minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf president Chaudhry Parvez Elahi said that the police operation in Zaman Park was carried out on the direction of Maryam Nawaz and Rana Sanaullah.

According to the source, he expressed these views while talking to newsmen outside Zaman Park on Saturday after police completed its search operation. He also talked to Imran Khan’s sisters. “When Imran Khan’s sister Dr. Uzma Khanum demanded search warrants, police failed to do so,” Elahi said. Police instead whisked away her husband and children, he added.

As per details Pervaiz Elahi said that the government was using tactics to postpone elections. He urged masses to get up from slumber to get their rights. The former chief minister said that the police played havoc in Zaman Park, damaged Imran Khan’s and his neighbors’ properties.

Meanwhile, a 12-member group of politicians called on him. They discussed national political issues on the occasion. Elahi said that the rulers wanted to benefit Nawaz Sharif by declaring Imran Khan a terrorist.
