Sanaullah was speaking to the media in Lahore.
The provincial law minister said that cases related to the Rawalpindi sectarian clashes will be heard in anti-terrorism courts.
“Appropriate action will be taken against those found guilty,” he added.
Ashura violence
On November 15, sectarian clashes had erupted at a procession near Rawalpindi's Fawara Chowk, marring an otherwise peaceful Ashura.
The clashes left at least 11 people dead and over 78 injured.
The government had imposed a weekend long curfew in the city following the clash in which unidentified people had taken guns from security officials, positioned for the security of processionists, and opened fire.
Unidentified people had also set a portion of the cloth market in Raja Bazaar on fire.

Always a blame game never look at your own mistakes. He's blinded by Saudi petro dollars like the whole government is.
those who are responsible for all this dis-harmony are being urged to maintain harmony, what a joke
You get paid for this job and you are the one been trying to switch responsibility! Lolz
@NR: correct...he is a friend of them (anti shia elements).
Look who's talking.
This man needs to get down from his position (LAW MINISTER!!!) because it is extremely contradictory in terms of his networking with the terrorist organisations such as LeJ/SSP?ASWJ.
Only if he himself stops supporting anti shia elements in Punjab!
Ulemma are fine. You should know and own your responsibility. Security should not be handled by Ulema !!!
