Islamabad, November 03,2024-Federal Minister of foreign affairs Ishaq Dar has instructed the Pakistan High Commission in London to take legal action against those who attacked former chief justice of Pakistan Qazi Faez Isa’s vehicle in the United Kingdom capital.
This comes after Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf supporters protested against the former jurist outside a building in London where Isa was honoured with a ‘Bencher of Middle Temple’ at a ceremony.
Former cabinet members of PTI government Malika Bokhari and Zulfi Bukhari along with social media member Azhar Mashwani addressed the demonstrators at the event.
As the former chief justice was leaving the ceremony, PTI activists assaulted his vehicle and tried to block his vehicle’s way.
In reaction to the incident, Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar has ordered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to take “appropriate action.”
The ministry regretted the incident against the former CJP. In its directives, the ministry has called for legal action to ensure that the perpetrators receive “appropriate punishment and for strict measures” to be taken against those involved in the act.
Imran Khan has accused the former CJP of being anti-PTI and maintained that the latter was also responsible for his incarceration and crackdown on his party.
Meanwhile, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has already announced the cancellation of the attackers’ passports. Naqvi has instructed the National Database and Registration Authority to take “immediate steps” to identify the assailants, stressing the need for locating them through available footage.
