Magicians spreading rumours about Shahbaz: minister

ISLAMABAD: Minister of State for Interior Talal Chaudhry Friday said that the magicians were spreading rumours about Shahbaz Sharif.

He said, “Justice Baqar Najafi commission report on Model Town incident carries no legal value but will provide a chance to political parties for point scoring.” Talking to media, Talal said that the FIR and trial had already been conducted through Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) and the legal and constitutional value of ATC is more than the commission.

"We cannot give importance to the commission report over trail of ATC on this issue and a judicial report cannot be presented as a proof", he said. He said that two FIRs had already been registered on Model Town issue and whatever action was required was taken by the government.

"No one can be punished over this report", he added. Talal Chaudhry said that such precedents were being set in this case which had never witnessed so far in the history of the country.

He stressed not only this report but all the commission reports of the country which had not yet been disclosed by the state should be made public. Through playing such tactics, Talal Chaudhry said, negative elements, through their fake politics, wanted to derail the progress of the country as well as the mega development project of China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).
