Pakistan
Dar Ali Khattak appointed new IGP
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Federal government on Wednesday dismissed Gilgit Baltistan Inspector General Police (IGP) Muhammad Saeed from his charge for deploying commandos and police at Zaman Park.
Sources said that IG was reluctant in backing off GB police and commandos from Zaman Park. Mr Saeed was ordered to report to the Establishment Division.
Ali Khattak, a grade-20 officer, was appointed as the new IG police. The federal government ordered Mr Khattak to call off the police from Zaman Park.
Maryam Aurangzeb at a news conference earlier today (Wednesday) rebutted the accusation of the government’s involvement in the attempts of arresting Mr Khan.
She waved arrest warrants for Imran Khan saying that the latter was wanted in multiple cases including threatening a judge, foreign funding, and Tyrian White and Toshakhana.
She accused PTI chief of using women and children as human shields against security personnel and claimed that at least 65 policemen were injured by PTI supporters.
She claimed that Gilgit Baltistan force was used to attack Punjab police while Punjab police were unarmed and was just trying to execute court orders.
She also urged the media to fact-check claims made by the former prime minister.
She urged the PTI chief to appear before the court and provide clarification instead of resorting to violent tactics. Imran’s political career was over, added Ms Aurangzeb.
