ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – The federal government has on Friday hinted at taking legal action against Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Ayaz Sadiq over his statement regarding release of Indian fighter pilot Abhinandan Varthaman.
Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Shibli Faraz took to Twitter and said that the matter of Ayaz Sadiq’s statement has gone beyond apology and the law will come into effect now.
Weakening the state is an unforgivable crime and Ayaz Sadiq and his supporters must be punished for that, the minister stressed.
On the other hand, a complaint has been lodged against Ayaz Sadiq at Lahore’s Civil Lines Police Station. Police have forwarded the application to legal department for consultation. Police officials maintained that action over the complaint will be taken as per the law.
Earlier, in his message on the occasion of Eid Milad-un-Nabi (PBUH), Shibli Faraz tweeted that the solution to our social problems lies in following the footprints of the Benefactor of Humanity, Hazrat Muhammad Sallallaho Alaihe Wa Salam Khatam-un-Nabiyeen.
He felicitated the people of Pakistan and the entire Muslim community on Eid Milad-un Nabi (PBUH). The Minister said Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH), who was the mercy for all the worlds, taught humanity the lesson of peace and tolerance.
Shibli Faraz said Prime Minister Imran Khan is committed to transform Pakistan into a welfare state on the pattern of the state of Madina, where justice and equality prevails.
