PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar released by police

The Islamabad police on Tuesday released PTI chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan a day he was taken into custody outside parliament.

The police said the PTI chief had been discharged from a case registered in Sangjani police station.

It should be noted that three cases had been registered against the organizers of the PTI rally. The first case has been filed for violation of not ending the meeting on time, the second case was registered for violation of route while the third for stone pelting on SSP Safe City and other officials.

Other leaders including PTI leader Sheikh Waqas Akram, Aamir Dogar and Zain Qureshi have also been arrested from parliament on Monday night.

Barrister Gohar’s release comes hours after National Assembly Speaker Ayaz Sadiq announced to take action on the yesterday’s arrests made from the premises of the Parliament.

In the National Assembly session today, the members of parliamentarians discussed the incident of last night, on which Ayaz Sadiq said that he will take action on what happened in the house last night.

The Speaker said that they will have to take a stand on this in any case. I have asked for videos not only of all the gates (doors) but everywhere so that we can put the responsibility on whoever is responsible, he added.

The Speaker further said that he considered himself unlucky that in 2014 a party and his cousin attacked the parliament and he was on this chair. The second attack was on the room of Maulana Salahuddin Ayub and that too was our bad luck.
