Anti-encroachment drive will continue regardless of political influence, says Talal
Minister questions legality of guard cabin, generator at Fazl's residence after CDA issues encroachment notice
Federal Interior Minister Talal Chaudhry has emphasized that Islamabad's anti-encroachment campaign will persist, irrespective of political influence. Chaudhry questioned the legality of a security cabin and generator situated at the residence of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman, deeming the defense of encroachments 'inappropriate'.
The campaign, which has been ongoing for over a year and a half, aims to eliminate illegal constructions and encroachments on government land, with notices issued across every street in the capital. Chaudhry accused Fazl of overlooking his own role in forming and toppling governments while criticizing the government's misuse of the Constitution.
He emphasized that the campaign is a matter of human rights and legal compliance, rejecting any notion of oppression against Fazl or other individuals. Chaudhry also addressed similar operations carried out in other parts of the city, including the removal of illegal structures and the vacating of government land.
