PTI condemns Punjab government over lodging FIR against its members

Pakistan Tahrik-e-Insaaf (PTI) on Monday has condemned the Punjab government's action of lodging a FIR against 40 members of PTI, including central leaders Omar Sarfaraz Cheema, Asif Bashir and Rukhsana Naveed in Factory Area Police Station. PTI Central Information Secretary Shafqat Mahmood said the PTI was staging a peaceful protest rally against violent torture of ISF students by the criminal elements of PML-N and MSF.
"The Punjab government, PML-N and MSF have resorted to blatant violence against our workers. Rather than taking action against those involved in violence, the Punjab Police lodged FIRs against dozens of ISF and PTI workers under 16 MPO," he added. He warned the Punjab administration of wide spread protests in Lahore if the forged FIRs against PTI and ISF members were not cancelled.
