The Punjab government had granted the police full authority to apprehend the terrorists involved in the riots that occurred on May 9.
Access to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman and former premier Imran Khan’s residence – Zaman Park – has been restricted, and barriers have been erected.
A partial police operation was carried out in the vicinity of Zaman Park, with eight suspects already under arrest.
This was confirmed by Punjab Caretaker Information Minister Amir Mir in a tweet.
Despite the government’s deadline, the PTI leadership has not handed over the troublemakers to the police, the officials said.
The law enforcement agencies (LEAs) have emphasized their willingness to employ force if necessary to apprehend the terrorists.
24-hour deadline
On Wednesday, Punjab Interim Information Minister Amir Mir addressing a press conference gave a 24 hours deadline to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) to hand over up to 40 terrorists who allegedly took refuge in Zaman Park.
Amir Mir claimed that the miscreants who attacked Lahore Corps Commander House on May 9 were in contact with the PTI leadership at Zaman Park.
Mir said that the “handlers” of the attack were in contact with the vandals and were giving them directions.
Interim minister said that the “terrorists” involved in the attacks on army installations would be tried in military courts.
He said that these people would be made an example of so that no one would dare to do the same in the future. He said PTI has also become a non-state element and Chairman PTI had threatened in the video before the arrest about the violent protests.
