KARACHI:

 

On the riots in most cities of the country following the arrest of former prime minister Imran Khan, former president Asif Ali Zardari has said that riots in the cities are regrettable and shameful.

On Tuesday, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran was arrested from the premises of the Islamabad High Court in the Al-Qadir Trust case. As soon as the former premier was arrested, reports of protests and vandalism started pouring in from several cities of the country.

According to a statement issued on Wednesday, the Pakistan Peoples Party co-chairman said, “I was in jail for 14 years but never allowed workers of our party to take the law in their hands.”

Zardari asserted that the act of harming public property and spreading chaos would not be tolerated.

The former president added that Imran had been arrested in a corruption case. “He (Imran) should face the courts. He should not to be afraid or run away.”

Giving an example, he said the PPP leaders spent their ages in prisons but did not take the law in their hands.
