The Pakistani government decided to take strict action against PTI and its leaders

Pakistani: The government of Pakistan has made the decision to take tough measures against the leaders of the opposition Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). In reaction to the PTI’s recent violent march on Islamabad, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif called a high-level meeting to make this decision, according to Dawn.

The government has called the PTI a group of “anarchists and saboteurs” and intends to file charges against PTI officials, such as Ali Amin Gandapur, the chief minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Bushra Bibi, the wife of Imran Khan. The killings of security guards and the assault on the federal capital during the PTI march are the subjects of the lawsuits.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif presided over a high-level meeting that included Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, federal ministers, Chief of Army Staff Gen. Syed Asim Munir, and senior security officials. The decisions were made with the intention of fortifying institutions and averting future “anti-state protests,” according to The Dawn.

Additionally, a task team led by Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi was formed by the Pakistani prime minister. Those participating in the violent demonstration will be identified by the task force. Information Minister Attaullah Tarar, Economic Affairs Minister Ahad Cheema, Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar, and security department representatives are also part of the force.

The Prime Minister’s Office said in a press release that “Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif established a task force under the chairmanship of Interior Minister Syed Mohsin Naqvi to identify the people involved in spreading chaos and violence in Islamabad earlier this week and take strict action against them.”

In order to stop efforts to incite violence and turmoil in the future, the premier also made the decision to establish a Federal Riot-Control Force. The force will get the required equipment and professional training in accordance with international standards.

The establishment of the Federal Forensic Lab, which will use cutting-edge technology to look into and gather evidence of such occurrences, was another decision made during the conference, according to The Dawn.

The demonstration in Islamabad started on November 24 and lasted for three days.
Notably, PTI members marched into Islamabad from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Regaining the party’s “stolen mandate” from the February elections, releasing political prisoners like Imran Khan, and reversing the “constitutional amendment” that gives the government authority over judicial selections were the three demands of their protest, according to Al Jazeera.
