KARACHI: Sindh Information Minister Syed Nasir Hussain Shah has strongly deplored the incident of throwing ink and eggs on Shahbaz Gill in the premises of Lahore High Court and said that there was no space for such attitudes in politics.
The provincial minister said that though Shahbaz Gill was their political opponent, however, such incidents could not be encouraged. Shah said that it was a glimpse of political culture promoted by Khan Sahab in the country.
He said that they had kept advising Khan Sahib not to go beyond the limits, although no attention was paid to it. Shah further said that the incident of throwing ink and eggs on Shahbaz Gill was the result of PTI’s training to its people who regularly make personal attacks on the leadership of political opponents.
Shah urged PM Imran Khan to discourage personal attacks and violent attitudes in politics. “Pakistan is most important. If such attitudes continue, no one will be safe,” he concluded.
It is worth mentioning here PML-N activists threw ink and eggs at Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Political Communication Shahbaz Gill as he appeared in court.
Gill appeared for a hearing at the Lahore High Court where he was encountered by PML-N activists who hurled ink at him. This led to a clash between activists of PTI and PML-N outside the premises of the court.
Talking to journalists after the incident, the special assistant termed it thuggery, emphasizing that he was totally fine. “They are throwing the ink of their own black actions,” he said, adding, “We will not return 10 slaps in place of one. We will not curse in return for their curses.”
The Lahore High Court has summoned Shahbaz Gill on a petition challenging a criminal case Islampura police registered on his complaint. A Pakistani nation Tahir Mobeen and two Turkish citizens– Cemil Senocak and Yemen Yemenoglu had filed the petition.
Justice Malik Shahzad Ahmad Khan heard the petition and adjourned the hearing till March 15 with a direction to the investigating officer to produce the complainant on the next date.
