LAHORE: The interim government in Punjab shared solid proof including pictures, videos and messages about the involvement of a political party in the May 9 incidents with the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) members, reported The News.

They met Chief Minister Punjab Mohsin Naqvi at the CM Office on Thursday and strongly condemned the terrorist incidents, expressing complete solidarity with the Pakistan Army.

CM Mohsin Naqvi told the meeting, which was also attended by Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Sikandar Sultan Raja, that a political party brought disgrace to the whole nation on May 9, adding that attacks on military installations were carried out under a planned strategy.

He added that the investigators were able to find proof of contact between the attackers and the political leadership at Zaman Park through geo-fencing.

The CM claimed that according to initial estimates, the country suffered Rs6 billion losses due to the May 9 attacks.

On the other hand, the CEC acknowledged that the Punjab government undertook excellent steps for the protection of the masses amid the current situation. 

He said the ECP was fully satisfied with the provincial government, as it was performing its duties with honesty. The ECP wants to ensure a fair, just and peaceful general election in the country, he added.

“We are not affiliated with any political party and we have no political motives,” he reiterated. 

Raja underscored that the ECP had always made decisions on merit, adding that the caretaker government was also impartial, and holding free and fair elections was also its mandate.

The CEC said the security steps for holding the general election would be reviewed again and the ECP would provide all possible assistance to the Punjab government for the elections. 

He said the provincial authorities should not succumb to any pressure as the ECP was fully supporting it.

During the meeting, Inspector General of Punjab Police (IG) Dr Usman Anwar briefed the ECP officials about details of attacks at the Lahore corps commander’s house (Jinnah House) and other military installations on May 9.

Marriyum Aurangzeb claimed that during the past three days, the country has witnessed the true nature of the PTI, with its miscreants setting fire to a number of Islamabad installations before escaping in their bulletproof vehicles.

The public rejected the elements continually calling for protests and sit-ins, according to Planning Minister Ahsan Iqbal, and the PTI’s performance today will also fail.

Speaking at a news conference in Lahore, the planning minister stated that the government is responsible for protecting people and property, and that the necessary precautions have been taken in this regard.

Because of its effective economic policies, Pakistan is on the path to prosperity and development, according to Ahsan Iqbal. He stated that a five-year strategy for economic advancement will be unveiled shortly by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.

But the demonstrators have a sinister plan to sabotage this advancement for their own ends, he claimed.

PTI intends to disrupt everyday life and restore law and order in the nation, he claimed. However, he stressed, the law will not be taken into one’s own hands, and those who break it would face harsh consequences.

The PTI founder has been sentenced by the courts, according to Ahsan Iqbal, and his release can only occur legally—not through a sit-in or protest. According to him, the PTI founder will need to use the legal system to cleanse his name in every case.
