LAHORE:A court in Lahore on Tuesday granted interim bails to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders until June 11 in the case of vandalizing public property and attacking police personnel during the party’s long march on Islamabad on May 25th this year.
Additional Sessions Judge Saima Qureshi accepted the bail pleas of Dr. Yasmin Rashid, Mian Mehmoodur Rasheed, Murad Raas, Andleeb Abbas and Mian Aslam Iqbal ordered the investigation officer in the case to submit his report on the next date of the hearing (June 11, 2022).
Later talking to the media, the PTI leaders said that they were law-abiding citizens, and no matter what the government did to them, they would not back down. Dr. Yasmin regretted that the police personnel let loose by Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah misbehaved with her. “They even did not care that I am in my 70s,” she said, adding, “But we believe in politics based on principles.”
Mian Aslam Iqbal said that he and other PTI leaders were not afraid of arrests, and they would again come out of their homes on the call of party Chairman Imran Khan.
