The embattled Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Tuesday found itself grappling with yet another challenge after a private news channel aired contents of the judicial commission’s report into the Model Town killings incident in which the investigating judge has laid the onus of the massacre of 14 political workers on the Punjab government administered by Sharif’s younger brother, Shahbaz Sharif.

“There was a consensus on the need to resolve the ongoing issue expeditiously in the best national interest,” read a short statement issued from the PM House shortly after the meeting.

At least 14 workers of Tahirul Qadri’s Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) were killed and over 100 people injured in clashes with police on June 17 in the Model Town locality.

According to the JC's report, which has been kept secret by the Punjab government, Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif had not ordered the police to "disengage" from the clashes with Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) supporters, resulting in the deaths of at least 14 people and injuries to over 80 others.

Apart from the logistical issue, Musharraf’s lawyers expressed apprehension that mobs pose a threat to both people and the premises.
