Sahibzada Jehangir, Aneel Mussarat and Barrister Amir Ilyas are also named in the FIR .

Earlier, Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah said that the government is going to request Saudi Arabia to take appropriate action against the elements that used indecent language in the premises of Masjid-e-Nabvi (SAWW).

Addressing a joint news conference along with Adviser on Kashmir Affairs and Gilgit-Baltistan Qamar Zaman Kaira in Islamabad on Friday, he said the act pained the entire Muslim Ummah and hence condemnable.

The Interior Minister said the Saudi government will also be requested to provide Pakistan identification of the culprits involved in this shameful act for action against them. He said an advice of the Law Ministry will be sought to proceed against such elements.

He said such elements should be deported as they must not be permitted to stay any more on the holy land.

Rana Sanaullah said this act was pre-planned in Pakistan at the behest of former Prime Minister Imran Khan Niazi and former Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed.

Masjid e Nabwi Incident

A group of people misbehaved with the Pakistani delegation headed by PM Shehbaz Sharif at Masjid-e-Nabvi when they came to offer prayers. Abuses were hurled at Information Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb while people misbehaved with Shahzain Bugti, pulled his hair and chanted slogans “chor, chor” at them.

People are now asking whether what happened at the Masjid-e-Nabvi with Pakistani ministers was planned by the PTI?

The former federal minister is one of those who have been provoking public sentiments against the new coalition government in PTI rallies.

The video, which went viral on social media, has been widely condemned by people from all walks of life who have termed the act shameful.
