Won't tolerate act of disrespect, Shafi warns
Jan says that any attempt to abduct elected CM of province is open violation of Constitution
K-P Minister for Information, Science & Technology and Information Technology Shafi Jan has vehemently denounced the alleged actions of Punjab Police towards Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi in Lahore. Jan's statement from his office condemns the forcible removal of the chief minister from his vehicle, the transfer to an unrelated vehicle, and his subsequent placement in a remote area without his security detail.
Jan describes this conduct as highly inappropriate and unacceptable. According to Jan, Maryam Nawaz's "Gullu Butts" group attempted to abduct the chief minister by compelling him into a police vehicle. Following mounting pressure, the chief minister was then left at a remote location without his security detail. Jan asserts that Punjab government's overzealousness has now extended beyond the provincial borders and reached the elected representatives of a federal unit.
Jan firmly states that any act aimed at abducting the elected chief minister of a province is a blatant violation of the Constitution, democratic principles, and respect for federal units.
