Saudi crown prince orders releasing Pakistanis imprisoned for rioting at Masjid-e-Nabawi
Muhammad bin Salman (MBS), the Saudi Arabian Crown Prince and Prime Minister, has ordered the release of all Pakistani nationals who had been detained in the country due to unrest at Masjid-e-Nabawi (PBUH).
The Pakistanis who had been detained in connection with the event were to be released, according the prime minister Shehbaz Sharif’s request to the Saudi crown prince.
In response to the crown prince’s choice, PM Shehbaz expressed his appreciation.
“I am extremely appreciative to Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman for granting my request to have the Pakistanis detained there for the incident in April 2022 released. We beseech Allah Almighty to transform us into more compassionate Muslims, “He tweeted something.
Three Pakistanis — Khawaja Luqman, Muhammad Afzal, and Ghulam Muhammad — were given eight years in prison by a Madinah court earlier this year. The sanctity of the sacred mosque was violated, and three further Pakistani residents, Anas, Arshad, and Muhammad Saleem, were given six years in prison for their roles in the mayhem.
When prime minister Shehbaz Sharif travelled to Saudi Arabia in April, a group of protesters who purportedly belonged to the PTI began yelling anti-PM and anti-delegation chants as soon as they entered the Roza-e-Rasool mosque to pay their respects (PBUH).
he demonstrators began chanting “chor, chor (thieves)” when they saw the première and harassed and screamed inappropriate chants against Marriyum Aurangzeb as PM Shehbaz and his delegation arrived at the mosque.
The JWP leader and Federal Minister for Narcotics Control Shahzain Bugti was also mistreated by the protesters, who yanked his hair. On their smartphones, the protesters continued to record the entire incident.
