Resolution seeking judicial probe into May 9 events tabled

LAHORE (HRNW) A resolution seeking constitution of judicial commission to investigate the May 9 events, wherein military installations came under attack following PTI founder Imran Khan’s arrest, was tabled in Punjab Assembly on Wednesday.

Opposition Leader in Punjab Assembly Malik Ahmed Khan, who is part of Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) – the new home for PTI lawmakers-elect, submitted the resolution a day before May 9.

The resolution demanded constitution of judicial commission to investigate the May 9 events, which formed the basis of a severe state crackdown against PTI founder Imran Khan and his party.

Despite the passage of one year, it stated that the truth remains concealed, and the events were being exploited for political purposes.
