ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah vowed on Sunday that former Prime Minister Imran Khan would be imprisoned in a case involving hooliganism and sloganeering against Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and his delegation during their visit to Madina earlier this week, the media report said.
Sanaullah declared in a statement: "They will not be pardoned for their actions. Imran Khan will undoubtedly be apprehended ". The minister stated that there is no basis for not filing a case against those who defiled the sanctity of Roza-e-Rasool, referring to the FIR filed against over 150 people, including Imran Khan.
If any person comes forward and requests action in this regard, the government will not put up any barriers, he stressed. He claimed that the event involving the harassment of PML-N leaders at the holy mosque was pre-planned and that the perpetrators were provoked.
A group of persons led by Aneel Mussarat and Sahibzada Jahangir arrived in Saudi Arabia from the United Kingdom for hooliganism at the Masjid-e-Nabawi, according to the plan, he claimed.
"Imran Khanis hell-bent on deceiving the next generation," he continued, asking if anyone had ever called for a Chand Raat protest. "Is there any need for proof following Sheikh Rasheed's press conference?" the minister asked, when asked about the plot behind the tragedy.
According to Sanaullah, the Saudi government has decided to take action against those responsible for the incident, with some persons being deported from the country.
