ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif gave authorities orders Monday to act quickly against those who have been causing recent disturbances, vandalism, and damage to both public and private property in Islamabad.
He did, however, stress how crucial it is to make sure that no law-abiding or innocent people are imprisoned while the crackdown on those causing turmoil is underway.
Nearly two weeks after the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) canceled its highly anticipated demonstration in Islamabad due to a security forces crackdown on the party’s employees, PM Shehbaz made the pledge.
On November 25 and 26, hundreds of PTI supporters defied an official ban and swarmed the federal capital, bringing Islamabad to a complete halt.
The premier emphasized the government’s commitment during a review meeting on the state of law and order earlier today.
