Lahore, May 26, 2022 (PPI-OT):Punjab Assembly Speaker Chaudhry Parvez Elahi has strongly condemned the arrests and torture of MPA Mian Aslam Iqbal, his brother and several members of the Punjab Assembly and said that police violence against elected representatives is a matter of grave concern. The matter of the arrested members of the Punjab Assembly will be discussed in the House. As the House Custodian, I cannot remain silent on the arrests of the members of the Assembly.
He said that Punjab has been turned into a police state, police is being used illegally, members of assembly have been unjustifiably arrested by the police and their families have been harassed. Ch Parvez Elahi also lamented the inhumane treatment meted out to PTI leader Umar Ayub Khan. He said that the police tortured the elected representatives and PTI workers on the orders of Shahbaz Sharif and Hamza Shahbaz. At the behest of bogus and unconstitutional rulers, the police resorted to cruelty and brutality.
Ch Parvez Elahi further said that the government cannot suppress the rising voice of the people by force, the bogus rulers are guests for a few days and they will have to answer for their unconstitutional and illegal actions. The bureaucracy should also keep in mind that breaking the law will make them accountable.
