CHUNIAN: In anticipation of the NA-132 by-election in the Kasur district, a public gathering was held in Chunian. A first information report (FIR) was filed, alleging various accusations against sixteen leaders of the Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) and six hundred unidentified workers.
According to the FIR, the district administration did not provide the SIC with a no objection certificate (NOC) for the event, where an attempt was made to “incite people through anti-state narrative”.
It said that the political figures had broken both Section 144 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) and the code of conduct established by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP).
They brandished guns during the public event, according to the FIR filed at the Khaddian police station under various sections of the Pakistan Penal Code.
