Former aviation minister Ghulam Sarwar Khan arrested in Islamabad

  • Sarwar was taken into custody for involvement in the May 9 incidents
Published June 21, 2023

Former aviation minister Ghulam Sarwar Khan was arrested in the early hours of Wednesday in Islamabad, Aaj News reported.

He was arrested in a joint raid carried out by Pindi and capital police in the capital. Sarwar was taken into custody for involvement in the May 9 incidents, the police said.

Following Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman’s arrest on May 9, protesters stormed the residence of the corps commander in Lahore and attacked army installations.

“Over 150 policemen were injured during violent protests across Punjab after the arrests of PTI Chief. At least 63 policemen were injured in Lahore, 28 in Rawalpindi, 21 in Faisalabad, 10 in Attock, 13 in Gujranwala, five in Sialkot and six in Mianwali,” sources said.

However, the PTI chief refutes the government’s allegations and claims that the attacks on military installations were pre-planned to justify the crackdown on his party.

Following the attack, cases were registered against Imran as well as other party workers.

Arrest warrants issued

Meanwhile, on Tuesday, an Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) in Lahore issued non-bailable arrest warrants of Imran in the May 9 vandalism case.

The warrants were also issued for former ruling party leaders Hammad Azhar, Mian Aslam Iqbal and others at the request of the investigating officer.

The cases against the accused were registered in the Naseerabad and Model Town police stations of Lahore.

He should be tried for negligent Homicide for the Karachi PIA disaster on Chaand Raat . His total lack of interest in aviation industry brought pilots with fake licenses into PAkistan Airlines .

This man is an enemy of the state and people. Most of Niazi's hand picked cabinet was. Incompetent, corrupt, evil beings. If they were in China, they would be hanged for the losses they caused.

@Yousaf Hyat , He was not the one who brought pilots with fake licence. It was in PPP & PML(N) tenure when those pilots with fake licence were recruited. During his tenure, a news was published or we should say Minister brought this issue in the news which led to disgrace of the nation.

@Yousaf Hyat , He was just the messenger. The actual damage was done before. But, he could have handled the matter better.
