PML-N supremo and Nawaz Sharif on Tuesday called the report of the inquiry carried out by the army into the events leading up to and following the arrest of his son-in-law, Capt (r) Mohammad Safdar, as a “cover-up”. “Inquiry report on Karachi incident is a cover-up scapegoating juniors and shielding the real culprits. Earlier on Tuesday, the military had said that officials of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and Sindh Rangers involved in the arrest and subsequent release of PML-N leader Safdar Awan have been suspended for acting “overzealously”. Earlier this week, Karachi police declared the FIR as fake in the charge sheet submitted to a local court. Similarly, Pakistan People’s Party Chairman, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, called this “good news”.
