ISLAMABAD – The PTI used the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government resources to attack Islamabad where the party supporters resorted to violence, resulting in the martyrdom of a policeman and injuries to 70 others, during the violent protests on Oct 4 and 5.

Sources say the PTI not only transported armed miscreants from the province but also policemen in plain clothes, as they torched and damaged government installations. Many of them have been arrested, including 22 Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Police and two Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) officials, they added.

The latest revelations further strengthens the case for imposing Governor’s rule in the provinces, as the PTI – a sympathizer of TTP terrorists – is repeatedly targeting the Centre and Punjab. Why? To press the state institutions to spare Imran Khan – the incarcerated party founder – who may soon face military trial for planning and executing the attempted coup plan on May 9, 2023.

RIGHT TO PROTEST?

Taking refuge in democratic values and rights to carry out anti-state activities has become a norm for PTI. It includes an organized propaganda designed to incite violence while citing freedom of expression and then executing violent acts in the name of right to protest.

It is said that Constable Abdul Hameed was performing duties at Chungi No 26 from where he was kidnapped before being tortured. He succumbed to his injuries in a hospital.

The tragic incident happened as mobsters not only torched police vehicles, but also attacked the cops indiscriminately.

In this connection, the sources say a top official of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Police, who is a favorite of Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur, supervised the process to shift teargas shells, masks, slingshots, marble balls and stones to the federal capital. Mode of transportation? They moved these items in Rescue 911 ambulances.

Meanwhile, the authorities in Islamabad have seized a total of 12 fire tenders, six ambulances and one water tanker belonging to the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government.

As far as the details of the arrested mobsters are concerned, the total stands at 795, of which 106 are illegal Afghan migrants. Law enforcement agencies have also impounded 115 vehicles as well, the sources say.

But the most alarming factor is these individuals too were carrying teargas shells and masks.

ANTI-STATE:

According to the sources, strict action is being taken all the elements attacking the state in the latest episode which reminds us of the May 9 riots.

On the other hand, use of government offices and resources along with the provincial police for violent acts is clear violation of law.

That’s why the state institutions, the sources say, have made it clear that the arrested miscreants will face serious legal consequences without any leniency.

Meanwhile, there is another question that needs to be addressed: Imran Khan’s PTI has been using the precious financial resources transferred to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa under the National Financial Commission (NFC) Award to create anarchy in Pakistan.
