Recovery of weapons from inside the Zaman Park shows the mindset of Imran Khan: Rana Sanaullah
ISLAMABAD, Mar 18 (SABAH): Minister for Interior Rana Sanaullah Khan says Zaman Park operation was conducted to clear the no-go areas and to arrest the miscreants hiding inside.
In an interview with a private news channel, Rana Sanaullah said the police were fired upon and pelted with stones from inside the house, which is regrettable.
He claimed that in the course of the operation, weapons have been seized and slingshots used to pelt stones at the police were recovered from the house.
The Interior Minister said the recovery of weapons from inside the house shows the mindset of Imran Khan, who wants chaos and anarchy in the country.
Rana Sanaullah said that Imran Khan wants chaos and unrest in the country, adding that Imran Khan did not want politics in the country as his attitude is not political. He said that Imran Khan is not ready to talk and sit with political opponents, adding that the nation should identify this person and minus him from politics with the power of vote. He said that unarmed anti-riots police went for the search operation at Zaman Park and cleared the whole area.
Rana Sanaullah said that instead of securing the search warrants the police did not enter the residential area of Zaman Park. He said that the cases will be registered against the people who have been arrested from Zaman Park and challan will be presented in court. He said that making this kind of preparations is not the work of any political party. He said that the police will remain present around the premises of Imran Khan’s residence from where any effort to make no go area could be stopped.
Meanwhile in a statement issued on twitter on Saturday, Rana Sanaullah Khan said that Zaman Park had become a ‘no-go zone’ which has now been cleared by the police, arresting miscreants who opened fire on unarmed personnel. The operation was conducted as the residents were facing difficulties due to encroachments around the Fitna’s residence, he said.
