ATC express displeasure over police, discharges 32 PTI protestors

The Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) Islamabad has discharged 32 individuals arrested in connection with the PTI protests, clearing them of the charges.

The 32 accused were brought before the ATC Islamabad late at night after being sent for an identification parade.

The case was heard by ATC Judge Abulhasnat Zulqarnain, with the accused represented by their lawyer Ansar Kiani.

Although the police had claimed that the arrests were made at the I-9 and Margalla police stations, the accused were brought to the court from Jhelum Jail, which led to the judge expressing displeasure.

During the proceedings, the police argued that the accused were arrested on November 25 and the identification parade had not yet been conducted. The police requested a 30-day physical remand for each of the accused.

However, the defense lawyer opposed the request, stating that there had been no identification parade and the police were seeking remand for recovery purposes.

The lawyer further claimed that the police had picked up laborers from their homes just to meet arrest quotas, involving them in the protest case.

After hearing the arguments, Judge Abulhasnat Zulqarnain ordered the release of the 32 accused by discharging them from the case, removing their handcuffs in the courtroom.

He also warned that if the police re-arrested them, the officers would be handcuffed as well.

President hosting secret meetings to make Bilawal PM: Barrister Saif

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Information Adviser Barrister Muhammad Ali Saif claimed on Saturday that “secret meetings” were being held in the President House to oust Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and bring Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari as the new PM.

In a statement, the adviser said both father and son (President Asif Ali Zardari and Bilawal) were making all the necessary efforts for premiership of the latter, adding that the president was on a secret mission to see his son as the PM.

“Zardari should make his son the PM through fair means instead of stealing the mandate given by the people to the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). Both Sharifs and Zardaris are enjoying the power through a stolen mandate,” he added.

He reiterated that Zardari should keep it in mind that the PTI would continue its struggle to restore its mandate.
