Sanctity of the national heritage was irreparably damaged: FIR
LAHORE (Dunya News) – Police have lodged a case against Maryam Nawaz and other senior leadership of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) on the complaint of the security officer of the Parks and Horticulture Authority (PHA) for vandalism and violation of coronavirus Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
According to details, it has been alleged that locks and security fence of the park were broken and Malik Waseem Khokar along with other 125 people forcibly entered inside and damaged tiles of the floor and track to install search lights and flexes in the venue.
First Information Report (FIR) further states that the sanctity of national heritage was irreparably damaged.
The case has been filed at the Lari Adda Police Station against 100 leaders of the party including Rana Tanvir, Ahsan Iqbal, Talal Chaudhry, Ayaz Sadiq, Khawaja Saad Rafique, Rana Sanaullah, Pervaiz Malik, Rana Mubashir, Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, Sheikh Rohail, Samiullah and Malik Afzal Khokar.
On the other hand, PDM head Maulana Fazlur Rehman has directed all workers of the Pakistan Democratic Movement to start preparations for the long march and has given an ultimatum to the government to resign by January 31.
Briefing the media after Monday’s meeting between PDM leadership, Maulana Fazlur Rehman said that the government is trying to make the country’s media its slave but we will thwart this effort together. He also accused the government of pressurizing media to stop coverage of the rally, saying that he strongly condemns the deplorable role the rulers played yesterday.
Maulana Fazlur Rehman said that all PDM leaders have signed the detailed declaration. There was ambiguity on some issues, which had to be removed. By December 31, PDM members of the National and Provincial Assemblies will submit their resignations to their party leaders, he added.
He said that the steering committee has given a schedule to the provinces to prepare for the long march. “Today I want to make it clear to the government that it should resign by January 31”, he said.
During the media talk, a journalist asked Maryam Nawaz if she was ready for talks with the government. Responding to this, she said that everything rests in the hands of the public now, the selectors or the selected no longer matter.
