Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah has termed the arrest of Captain (retd) Safdar in a case of dishonour of Mazar-e-Quaid as wrong and said that some worrying things have come to light on the issue of arrest which will be investigated.
Addressing a press conference in Karachi, the Sindh Chief Minister said that as the PDM meeting in Karachi on October 18 was becoming a success, the panic of PTI members was increasing.
He said that what happened at Mazar-e-Quaid should not have happened but this is not the first time. Members of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf have violated the sanctity of Mazar-e-Quaid many times in 2013 and 2018 We all have responsible to maintain the sanctity of Mazar-e-Quaid.
He said PTI members, including a federal minister, were present at the police station from 6 pm to about 1 pm on October 18 and kept pressuring the police for a case.
He explained to his PTI friends that what had happened was a matter for the magistrate and not for the police still, PTI elected officials continued to put pressure on the police.
