KARACHI (Dunya News) - PML-N leader Captain (retd) Muhammad Safdar has been released on bail by Sindh police following orders from city court Karachi.
Announcing its verdict on the remand application for Captain (retd) Muhammad Safdar, City court rejected the plea and granted bail to Captain (r) Safdar.
Earlier, PML-N leader Maryam Nawaz also announced that City court has granted bail to Captain (r) Safdar in the case of desecration of Quaid-e-Azam’s mausoleum.
Maryam announced this during a press conference with other PDM leaders in Karachi. She said that she was informed of the development by party spokesperson Marriyum Aurangzeb.
On Monday morning, Police produced Captain (r) Safdar before Karachi’s city court after he was arrested for violating the sanctity of the Quaid’s mausoleum.
Police raided a private hotel in Karachi early morning and detained Captain Safdar. He was produced before the court in an armored vehicle.
Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) vice-president and wife of Muhammad Safdar, Maryman Nawaz took to Twitter and said, “Police broke my room door at the hotel I was staying at in Karachi and arrested Capt. Safdar.”
“I was in the room, sleeping, when they barged in,” Maryam Nawaz said.
Let it be known that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders had filed a complaint against Maryam Nawaz and Captain (retd) Safdar among 200 PML-N workers at the Brigade Police Station in Karachi for chanting slogans at the Mazar-e-Quaid.
According to the FIR, the case had been registered on Section 6 (convening of meetings or processions at the mausoleum), Section 8 (entry into mausoleum with weapon) and Section 10 (penalty for contravention of provisions) of The Quaid-i-Azam’s Mazar (Protection and Maintenance) Ordinance, 1971.
It is pertinent here to mention that PML-N leaders had paid a visit to the Mazar-e-Quaid before the Pakistan Democratic Movement’s (PDM) rally in Karachi on Sunday and chanted political slogans at the mausoleum.
