ISLAMABAD: (HRNW) Islamabad police on Thursday decided to conduct an operation inside the Parliament Lodges on the command of the director-general of police (operations).
According to media the police launched an operation inside the Parliament Lodges and arrested more than a dozen Ansar-ul-Islam workers, which is a security organisation of the JUI.
The DIG instructed the officials to evacuate media personnel from the building as they made their way towards the lodge of Ansar-ul-Islam MNA, Salahuddin Ayubi, which was situated on the fourth floor of the building.
Shortly afterwards, Ayubi’s staff and police personnel started a clash. Several parliamentarians of the PPP and PML-N were also present in the lodges at the time of the lodge, while JUI’s Maulana Fazlur Rehman had also reached the venue.
During a scuffle between police and Ayubi’s staff at the lodges, PML-N leader Khawaja Saad Rafique was injured when his foot hit the door.
Rafique, while talking to journalists, said that Ayaz Sadiq was holding a meeting in the lodge when the incident happened.
“We found out that the police had entered the lodge and had surrounded it,” he said, adding that when they contacted the police, they were informed that the police had warrants against some people.
“We tried to convince them that they could not enter the lodges but the police personnel remained adamant and entered by force.”
