Naqvi defends Islamabad officials over buggy use

ISLAMABAD:

Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi on Saturday defended the Islamabad police chief and chief commissioner after the two officials drew criticism on social media for using a buggy during the August 14 parade in the capital.

The criticism centred on the two officials' use of the buggy during the parade and Independence Day celebrations. The issue subsequently circulated on social media, prompting the interior minister to issue a clarification.

Naqvi said the officials were not at fault for using the vehicle and for proceeding with the event in the absence of the chief guest and himself.
