KARACHI: PDM chairman Maulana Fazlur Rehman claimed on Monday that the inspector general of Sindh police was held hostage and forced to register the case against the PML-N leader Captain Safdar.
“When IG Police refused to act against them [PML-N leaders] in his own home. He was arrested. And he was held hostage in the office of powers that be for four hours and was forced to register an FIR,” alleged Fazl in a press conference flanked by other PDM leaders.
The Opposition leaders were speaking to the media hours after the early morning arrest of Maryam Nawaz’s husband from a Karachi hotel in a case filed at Brigade Police Station for violating Mazar-e-Quaid’s sanctity.
“Now you tell me who is in power,” asked Fazl. He added that the Sindh government has clarified its point of view and said that CM Murad Ali Shah was not informed about the action.
The PDM chairman also questioned what the respect of the woman was considered in a society, saying that such treatment was not meted out to a woman in any “respectable country”.
Fazl also claimed that the Rangers broke in the hotel room of the PML-N leaders.
