PTI demands judicial inquiry

17 Nov, 2007

Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI) on Friday demanded judicial inquiry into manhandling of Imran Khan at Punjab University and mistreatment of female PTI activists by male contingent of Lahore Police during a demonstration.
"We strongly condemn the treatment meted out to Imran Khan, when he went to Punjab University on Wednesday, and demand a judicial inquiry into the incident," PTI Multan Chief Muhammad Younas Ghazi said in a statement here.
He said that in the present scenario, no section of a society could remain unmoved and indifferent. Moreover, the students' community had always been proactive and played a vital and positive role in the politics of Pakistan in the past too.
He made it clear that Imran Khan had not provoked or incited the students to get involved in any unlawful political activity. "The only purpose of Imran Khan going to the University Campus was to hold a peaceful protest against removal of the Chief Justice of Pakistan and of curbing the fundamental rights of an ordinary citizen of this country under the cover of emergency."
