–Punjab law minister says ‘aliens’ will create list of PTI candidates for electionsLAHORE: Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah on Friday admitted that the government was helpless to arrest Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) chief Khadim Hussain Rizvi because of the agreement signed between the TLP and the government, wherein the army played a role of a ‘mediator’. The three-week-long sit-in at the Faizabad Interchange had ended only after an agreement was signed between the government and the protesters, in which the government conceded to most of the protesters’ demands, including that of removal of the then law minister Zahid Hamid. It is pertinent to mention here Maj Gen Faiz Hameed of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) had signed the agreement in the capacity of ‘guarantor’. Commenting on the attack on Interior Minister Ahsan Iqbal, the Punjab law minister said that security should be beefed up and the mindset giving rise to such incidents should be amended. He alleged that the lists of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) candidates were being created by the ‘aliens’.
