‘7 out of 20 nabbed; No wrong person will be touched’

Invites PTI, PAT to present their record instead making hue and cry

ISLAMABAD: Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan has said that demands can only be met on table and protesting on roads will not help.

He said that Pakistan should be thankful to the media as their cameras helped identifying the people who were involved in attacking Pakistan Television (PTV) building and Parliament House.  He said that 20 attackers have been identified out of which 7 have been arrested so far.

Addressing a press conference here on Saturday, Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan said that some of the attackers were arrested from Punjab, some while entering or exiting the sit-ins and some from other places.

“20 people have been identified while 7 of them have been arrested”, said Nisar. He said that it was not an attack on someone’s personal property. “It was an attack on a state institution”, said the Interior Minister. He said that 8 expensive cameras were snatched and each was at least worth 7 – 8 lakh rupees.

Nisar said, “PAT and Pakistan PTI disowned the attackers within 24 hours of the attack. If they are not their people, why are they making all this hue and cry then? I assure that each attacker will be identified with the help of images and I want to engage PTI and PAT in this activity too. I invite both the parties to present their record. No wrong person will be touched”.

He said that it was possible that a wrong person got arrested. So, I invite them to come with me and identify the people who have been arrested unlawfully. “We have photographs of the attackers”, he said.

Chaudhry Nisar said that there was credible threat of terrorists’ attack at the sit-in. “It was communicated to us that the 5 to 6 terrorists are trying to attack the sit-in. Pillion ride was banned after information that the terrorists may come on motorbikes”, he told.

Interior Minister showed the images of people stealing water from the water pipelines. He showed images of electricity being stolen at the sit-in at 4 different places. He said that the proofs of the electricity theft have been provided. Not acting after evidence would have been unfair to our duties, said Nisar.=DNA
