ISLAMABAD: Dr Shireen Mazari, PTI’s Central Information Secretary, has condemned in the strongest terms the Interior Ministry, Islamabad police and administration’s failure to provide security to Imran Khan, Chairman PTI, despite repeated requests.
The resultant attack on his house by a horde of 100 miscreants on Wednesday evening put Khan and his family’s lives at risk while the police and local administration did not respond despite repeated calls.
According to an official press release issued by the PTI, Mazari said, “Imran’s brother-in-law was beaten and his female family members were abused as mob entered Khan’s residence because of less police protection.”
“We demand the immediate resignation of the Interior Minister who has deliberately failed to provide security to Imran Khan despite repeated formal requests by the party leadership.”
“The Minister has already shown a public bias towards PML-N and now his refusal to provide the required security to the PTI Chairman has put the life of the chief and his family at risk” said Dr Shireen Mazari.
She said that given the information about the security threat to Imran Khan’s life, this brazen act of denying security by the Interior Minister is nothing short of sheer recklessness and irresponsibility.
On the other hand, Caretaker Prime Minister has directed Islamabad police to step up security at the residence of the PTI chief in the capital.
Malik Habib Khan rejected the PTI claims and said that it was not an attack from anyone but instead the PTI groups fought each other outside Khan’s residence.
Islamabad IG took control of the situation soon I ordered him to take notice of the situation outside the PTI chief’s residence, he said.
