PESHAWAR
The Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Shibli Faraz has said that former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s son-in-law Captain (retd) Safdar was arrested for making offensive remarks against the state and its people.
He said that Safdar had committed a crime and simply he will face the music without any relief from the government and its institutions, adding that “Forget about who arrested him, focus on the crime he committed, the reason for his arrest,”. He said this during a visit to Peshawar Press Club here on Monday. The federal minister claimed that the arrest of Safdar in Karachi had nothing to do with politics, adding that enemies are always trying to conspire against the country.
“How can we discredit the institution that guarantees national defense?” Shibli Faraz questioned.
He said the judiciary is playing a positive role and everyone must abide by the law.
“Nawaz Sharif is ill here and perfectly healthy when he goes abroad? We will arrest him and put him behind the bars,” the minister remarked, adding that everyone must be held accountable. “The opposition was in power for 40 years. If these people do not answer, then why should anyone else?”
He further added that Prime Minister Imran Khan is working sincerely and he is the last hope who will take the country forward. Minister for Science and Technology Fawad Chaudhry said the arrest was a manifestation of upholding law and order.
“No one will be allowed to violate the sanctity of the Quaid’s mausoleum,” he said.
