ISLAMABAD:
Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has termed the report of the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) on the Model Town incident “shocking” and said that it was the “height of injustice”, according to local media sources.
In a message posted on his verified Twitter account on Saturday, the PTI chairman said that the report, which had absolved Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif and then provincial law minister Rana Sanaullah from charges of ordering police to open fire on Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) activists, would send police the message that “they can do it again with impunity,” reportedly.
All five members of the JIT, in their report on last year’s incident, had unanimously declared Shahbaz Sharif and Rana Sanaullah “innocent” and dismissed all allegations against them, which were mentioned in the FIR lodged by Minhajul Quran as “baseless and without any evidence.”
