The standing committee called for a judicial commission led by a senior judge to seek answers from the inspector general and the provincial interior secretary. “Chief Minister Usman Buzdar will be summoned if needed,” said Senator Rehman Malik, the head of the committee. The committee also agreed that if the militant Islamic State Group is operating in Pakistan, the information should be made public and the agency that identified Zeeshan as a terrorist should also be shared. During the committee’s meeting, Senator Kehda Babar said the police’s hooliganism should not be excused.
