ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Federal Minister for Planning and Development Ahsan Iqbal said on Monday the PTI chief was the mastermind of the May 9 attacks. 

Speaking to a private television channel, he said the PTI chief was found guilty of the crime and the case could be proceeded under the army act. Murad Saeed, he said, was inviting supporters to attack security institutions.
