ISLAMABAD: Pakistan People’s Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Thursday strongly condemned police baton-charge on Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) workers in Islamabad, said a statement issued by the PPP.
“Youth Convention is a democratic process and PPP strongly condemns any such act which prevents any democratic process,” said the PPP leader.
He said:"police is to maintain law and order, not to spoil political program and misbehave with women”.
Police on Thursday arrested over 100 workers of the PTI as they gathered in Sector E-11 area to attend a Youth Convention ahead of party’s planned “lockdown” of the federal capital and hours after Islamabad High Court’s order against the PTI’s plan.
The convention was being held hours after Imran Khan said he would go ahead with his plan of closing down the capital come hell or high water. He said he would challenge the orders passed by the Islamabad High Court.
