ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan Wednesday took notice of Minar-e-Pakistan incident where a mob assaulted a woman on August 14.

In a tweet, Zulfiqar Bukhari, a close aide of the prime minister, said that that PM Khan personally spoke to Inspector General Punjab on manhandling of the woman and the vandalisation of Ranjit Singh’s statute at Lahore Fort.
