LAHORE: Gullu Butt, active member of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and police tout, was sent on a 14-day judicial remand on the orders of the magistrate, Express News reported. 

He was taken to the court for the second time today in police custody amidst heavy security.

Earlier in the day, he was beaten up by an angry mob  in Lahore as reported by Express News.


The development comes two days after violent clashes between Tahirul Qadri's supporters and the police left eight people dead and scores others injured.

On Thursday, the PML-N worker - who was caught taking active part in the clashes against Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) workers -  was handcuffed and beaten up outside a session court in the the Model Town area of Lahore.

Police eventually intervened and shifted Butt to an undisclosed location after he fainted and sustained injuries.

Vandalism

Butt was caught smashing cars during the clash between PAT workers and the police outside the Minhajul Quran International Secretariat on Tuesday.

He smashed windscreens and windows of private vehicles with his club, while police officials looked on and the vandalism continued unabated.

Gullu Butt is a small fry, the criminals who instigated murder of unarmed innocent women and men are shameless enough to pin all blame on this idiot and then play down the whole sordid incident as a minor failure of governance.

The people of Pakistan are shameless enough to accept this or any other evil without batting a eyelid and continue as normal, this is exactly the trouble with Pakistan even the common man has benn corrupted where nothing is worth fighting for in his mentality.

The only good option for Pakistan at this juncture in history is to arrest the culprits, suspend the prime minister and his brother and entire PML-N government pending enquiry by the Army and civil society. No body from the current government and its agents can be trusted. it really is that simple.
