Islamabad: Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has stated that the IG Islamabad has been given the authority to deal with the protesters in any manner he deems appropriate.
In a media conversation, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi said that our effort was to avoid any spectacle on the streets of Islamabad. The President of Belarus is currently just one kilometer away from here.
He mentioned that the use of tear gas tarnishes the country’s image. Furthermore, three Rangers personnel and one police officer were martyred yesterday.
Mohsin Naqvi said that the IG Islamabad has been given the authority to handle the protesters as needed. We do not want any loss of life.
He added that the entire leadership of PTI does not want any bloodshed. During yesterday’s negotiations, it was agreed that they would protest at Sangjani. However, there is a hidden hand behind them that is causing the situation to deteriorate.
The Interior Minister emphasized that our priority is the protection of the Red Zone. The secret leadership of PTI is making all the decisions, and the hidden hand behind them has not succeeded.
He further mentioned that a single tear gas shell costs around 4,500 rupees. The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government provided the tear gas shells.
Mohsin Naqvi stated that the leadership of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf wanted to talk, but one “thing” outweighed everything. He is uncertain about when this individual will take over the party. His intentions seem different, and they might end up being betrayed.
