A Karachi judge on Friday directed the police to book Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leader and Water Resources Minister Faisal Vawda if a cognisable offence was made out against the minister. Vawda had mocked the PML-N’s unconditional support for the Army Act bill, saying the party was “lying down to kiss the boot”. Vawda was subsequently banned for two weeks from TV on the order of Prime Minister Imran Khan. The judge also directed the Station House Officer (SHO) of Mithadar Police Station to record the statement of the PPP leader under Section 154 of the Criminal Procedure Code. The PPP leader had approached the court against the Mithadar SHO for allegedly not entertaining his application to register a case against the PTI leader.
