Jan says that any attempt to abduct elected CM of province is open violation of Constitution
PESHAWAR:
K-P Minister for Information, Science & Technology and Information Technology Shafi Jan has strongly condemned the alleged conduct of Punjab Police towards Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi in Lahore, saying that separating the elected chief minister from his security, forcibly shifting him to another vehicle and later leaving him at a remote location without his security was an extremely serious and unacceptable act.
In a statement issued from his office, Jan said that Maryam Nawaz’s “Gullu Butts” attempted to abduct the chief minister by forcing him into a police vehicle and, after pressure mounted, left him at a remote location without his security. He said the police high-handedness of the Punjab government had now gone beyond the streets of Punjab and reached the elected representatives of a federal unit.
Jan said that any attempt to abduct the elected chief minister of a province is an open violation of the Constitution, democracy and the principle of respect for federal units.
