FIR registered against Imran Khan and 5 former ministers, arrest at any time
Imran Khan has been overwhelmed by sloganeering against PM Shahbaz Sharif in the holy Masjid-e-Nawabi of Saudi Arabia. A case has been registered against Imran and his 5 associates in Faisalabad. Home Minister Rana Sanaullah said- Raising political slogans at a holy shrine like Medina is a crime which cannot be forgiven. Now Imran Khan and his associates can be arrested at any time. Saudi Arabia can also take strict action against them.
Against whom the case
Apart from Imran, a case has been registered against Fawad Chaudhary, Shahbaz Gill, Qasim Suri, Shahbzada Jehangir Khan, Anil Musarat and Sheikh Rashid. Sheikh Rashid Shafiq, who raised slogans in Medina, was arrested at the airport while returning from Saudi Arabia to Islamabad. Shafid is the nephew of Sheikh Rashid, who was the Home Minister in the Imran government. All the people are accused of shouting slogans at the holy shrine and hurting religious sentiments. If proven, these charges can lead to a sentence of 5 to 8 years and a hefty fine.
Saudi Arabia too strict
On the other hand, Saudi Arabia has taken a tough stand against the supporters of Imran who raised slogans in Medina. According to reports, 158 people have been arrested. They will also have to pay a fine in Saudi currency Riyal along with a sentence of 3 years.
The Saudi Arabian government has sought information from Pakistan’s Shahbaz Sharif government about those who had reached Medina from Pakistan or London and were present in Medina on Tuesday when slogans of thieves were raised against Shahbaz Sharif. Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry has said that it is going to give the information sought by Saudi.
What the home minister said
In the new government, Home Minister Rana Sanaullah made it clear in a conversation with Geo News on Sunday afternoon that strict action would be taken against all the accused. Rana said – there are two things. First- These people raised political slogans in our holy shrine and hurt the sentiments of other people. Second- On the soil of another country, he made his country defame. We are investigating and can be classified as traitor to the country.
Pakistan’s Information Minister Maryam Aurangzeb told the hand of former Prime Minister Imran Khan behind the protests in Medina. She said- I will not take the name of that person in this holy place, because I do not want to use this place for politics. Imran Khan has ruined Pakistani society.
