On Friday, Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah refuted claims made by Senator and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Azam Swati that he was simply being held by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA).
On Friday, he said that the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) did not turn over Azam Swati to any other institutions while speaking at a press conference flanked by FIA officials.
Rana Sanaullah disputes the claims made by Azam Swati
He added that PTI supporters have been attacking officers of the institutions for the past several days. “Imrani fitna have adopted the agenda of chaos to cause riots and instability in the country,” he claimed.
In his statement, Swati was accused of “contempt of two institutions,” according to Sanaullah, who also said that the PTI leadership was “simply flinging accusations and spreading against state institutions.”
Azam Swati was in the FIA’s custody, he claimed in reference to the PTI leader being held by the organisation. Neither someone requested his handover nor was he given to anyone else. The FIA brought a lawsuit against him due to a strongly offensive tweet. The minister declared, “Facts must be presented to the nation since they openly lie.
He said that Azam Khan Swati had not provided any medical documentation to back up his claims. He declared that the accusations made by Azam Khan Swati are unfounded and will be lawfully refuted.
The minister advised PTI leaders to exercise moral courage by publicly expressing the correct things rather than compromising their reputation in order to advance their leader’s anti-state agenda.
Rana Sanaullah condemned Azam Swati’s accusations and asserted that the FIA’s case against the PTI leader was legitimate and compliant with all legal requirements.
He claimed that Azam Swati was handled legally and given the appropriate medical care. The Interior Minister stated that the red zone is a red line for any such gatherings in reference to PTI’s long march. The Minister declared that no one is above the law and that any unpleasant circumstance would be dealt with harshly.
The minister previously told the media that he would not permit any group to attack the capital city of Islamabad. The aforementioned organisation, the PTI Long March, will end the cultural state’s existence.
Rana Sanaullah stated that the Interior Ministry will carry out its duty if the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) long march follows the law in a media interview in Rawalpindi prior to the march.
He asserted that Imran Khan, the chairman of the PTI, was lying throughout. Lies and false narratives were being given to the general population.
According to the Interior Minister, the Supreme Court’s and the High Court’s rulings regarding the protest in Islamabad are unambiguous.
At the location chosen by the court, the long march will have the chance to demonstrate under complete protection. He continued, “The government will uphold its obligations for lawful protest.”
Rana Sanaullah added that the inquiry commission has been given full authority over all topics relating to the murdered journalist Arshad Sharif and that a lot of new information has emerged but that he is unable to share it at this time. He said that the commission’s report would be delivered to the interior ministry.
The Interior Minister also responded to the press conference of the DG ISI and DG ISPR, saying that any department, including Army Commanders, facing criticism and allegations can express its side, and that military officers can also inform the public whenever appropriate.
He added that at Imran Khan’s request, Anti-Corruption has issued a warrant for his arrest. Rana Sanaullah stated, “Governor’s rule in Punjab has not yet been decided upon nor has any summary been sent, Imran Khan should remove the Punjab administration.”
