If there was any mismanagement on that day then the police are responsible for it,” he said while talking to newsmen after chairing a meeting of the Senate’s Committee on Interior on Friday.

Senator Rehman Malik said the protests were made in the past and always the police handle it as when Dharna was staged by Prime Minister Imran Khan and PTI in the recent past then the administration did not allow the PTI workers to enter parliament.

When asked about the video of Senator Mustafa Khokhar in which he was pushing the police personals, Senator Rehman Malik said he did not watch the video, but it was told to me that a male police personal was pushing the women workers of the PPP and Senator Mustafa Khokhar tried to stop him from pushing the women workers. “The PPP always respect the law and law enforcement personals,” he said.
