Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) senior leader Dr. Yasmin Rashid, during an informal conversation in the Anti-Terrorism Court, strongly condemned the actions of the Punjab government calling it a ‘shameful chapter’ in the country's history.
Dr. Rashid criticized the Chief Minister of Punjab, stating, "The Chief Minister should be ashamed of saying, 'Well done, Punjab, you did not come out. We have never seen such cruelty in the history of Pakistan."
She further decried the alleged brutality inflicted on PTI workers and emphasized that such acts are against humanity.
Addressing the court, Dr. Rashid reiterated her commitment to democracy, asserting, "In our government, we allowed protests, including long marches by Maulana Fazlur Rehman, Bilawal Bhutto, and Maryam Nawaz. As a minister, I said that protest is a constitutional right, and we upheld that right."
The PTI leader vowed to hold those responsible for the alleged human rights violations accountable. "The PTI will take account of the cruelty on each and every one of its workers," she said.
Dr. Rashid also announced her intention to write a letter to the Chief Justice of Pakistan, urging the formation of a judicial commission to investigate the matter. "These lives will be accounted for," she declared, stressing the need for justice and accountability.
