ISLAMABAD, May 11 (SABAH): President Dr. Arif Alvi has said that he was alarmed, shocked and deeply disturbed over the current situation in the country arising out of the arrest and manhandling of the former prime minister Imran Khan.

In a statement issued on Thursday, President Dr. Arif Alvi said that the loss of human lives as an aftermath is heart-wrenching, regrettable, unfortunate and highly condemnable.

President Dr. Arif Alvi said that protest is a constitutional right of every citizen of Pakistan but should always remain within the bounds of the law. The way some miscreants have damaged public property, particularly government and military buildings, is condemnable, he said.

“We must have a re-Think and look for political solutions, rather than coercion and arrests. I have conveyed my concerns to the political and military leadership and am hopeful that the situation can improve. I strongly appeal to all citizens of the country to remain peaceful” President Dr. Arif Alvi said.
