PTI leader Asad Qaiser said if the law enforcement agencies had any evidence against Shireen Mazari, then they should present them. He said the government could not crush the anti-government movement through such actions.

“These actions will further instigate the movement. The government has realised that its days are numbered,” he said.

Senior PTI leader Imran Ismail said the government thought that the PTI members would panic through such tactics. “We will not rest now. The interior minister should refrain from such practices,” he warned adding that PTI core committee would take a decision regarding the government’s actions.

On the other hand, Awami Muslim League (AML) chief Sheikh Rashid Ahmed said the government had decided to fight by arresting PTI leader.

Another PTI leader Farrukh Habib said the government had panicked. He alleged that male policemen manhandled Shireen and dragged her. He said Shireen Mazari was a powerful voice who presented her stance without any fear.

شیریں مزاری کیساتھ مرد پولیس اہلکاروں نے بدتمیزی کی ہے اور انکو گھسیٹ کر گرفتار کرکے لے کر گئے۔ چند روز قبل بھی انکے گھر اہلکار گئے تھے۔ شیریں مزاری ایک جاندار آواز ہے جو اپنا موقف بلا خوف پیش کرتی ہے یہ حکومت خوفزدہ ہوگئی ہے ایسے ہتھکنڈوں سے ہمارے حونصلہ پست نہیں ہوگے۔
