Ali Muhammad Khan outraged over ‘masked men’ entering parliament

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) lawmaker Ali Muhammad Khan has condemned the late-night police raid at Parliament House, calling it an 'assault on democracy.'

Speaking during the National Assembly session chaired by Speaker Sardar Ayaz Sadiq, Khan questioned, "Is an attack on Parliament not an attack on Pakistan itself?"

He expressed his outrage over the incident, emphasising, "Democracy has faced arrests before, but what happened last night, with masked men entering Parliament and arresting members, is unacceptable."

 Sahibzada Hamid Raza, head of Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC), was himself arrested later.

Members of the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), both government allies, also expressed their discontent, further escalating tensions over the incident.

The raid, which occurred in the early hours of the morning, has sparked calls for a thorough investigation into the actions of the masked figures and the circumstances surrounding the arrests of PTI leaders.

PTI leaders Barrister Gohar, Sher Afzal Marwat arrested outside Parliament House

Islamabad police arrested PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan and Member of National Assembly (MNA) Sher Afzal Marwat outside Parliament House following a National Assembly session on Monday.

According to Express News, a heavy police presence had gathered outside the Parliament House in anticipation. As PTI leaders exited the building, police took positions and swiftly moved to detain Marwat.

A scuffle reportedly broke out between Marwat’s supporters and the police during Marwat's arrest. However, police managed to surround and apprehend the MNA, seizing his vehicle before leaving the scene.

While Sher Afzal Marwat was forcefully taken into custody, another PTI leader, Aamir Dogar, exited the Parliament House without any hindrance.

Sources indicate that Sher Afzal Marwat was arrested due to legal violations committed during last night’s rally.
