Meanwhile former Pakistan’s Ambassador to the US Sherry Rehman has also condemned the violent crackdown on PTI workers and stated on his official twitter account that PTI workers/supporters should keep in mind that this is Nawaz Sharif government and not of Pakistan Peoples Party.
Tehreek-e-Insaf workers had staged a sit-in outside Punjab Assembly as PTI has alleged rigging in PP-150 constituency during by-polls. Police arrested PTI leaders Mehmood-ur-Rasheed, Andleeb Abbas, Ejaz Chaudhry. Mehar Wajid and several workers. Imran Khan has also condemned the act of Punjab police and has demanded immediate release of workers.
Meanwhile Federal Information Minister Pervaiz Rashid has said that all the workers of PTI have now been released after orders from Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif.
Sherry Rehman Tweet:
Indeed @alisalmanalvi:Dear #PTI, it’s not a #PPP govt that you’ll stage a peaceful protest and get away with it. It’s a #PMLN govt now.
