Following the tragic incident, many pointed toward the lack of police protection for the cleric. Ghani then went on to say that an order issued by the former chief justice Saqib Nisar had become a “problem” for the provincial government in providing adequate security to Maulana Adil. In response, threat assessment committees were formed in all federating units tasked with assessing and providing security to those deemed entitled. “The formation of the threat assessment committee [following the SC order] has created a lot of hurdles for us. The government and the chief minister no longer have the power to order security for a particular person,” Ghani said during his presser.
