ISLAMABAD (HRNW) – Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah said on Tuesday that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan will be tried in a military court over the May 9 vandalism.
Talking to a private news channel, Mr Sanaullah accused the deposed premier of “personally planning attacks” on military installations before his arrest, adding that to substantiate this claim, there was also evidence.
On Monday, Mr Sanaullah said there would be no relaxation for those who attacked military installations even if they had left the PTI.
Speaking to Dunya news program “On The Front”, he said if other leaders distanced themselves from the party and condemned the May 9 attacks, they might be awarded relaxation. “Any person who was inside the red line of the Lahore’s Corps Commander House will not be exempt from punishment,” he added.
He went on to say that there were two types of those involved including motivators and doers. “PTI chief Imran Khan is among the motivators,” he added. Upon being countered that Mr Khan was not inside the physical red line, he repeated Mr Khan was an instigator.
