'Check post' search: PAT workers seize pistol from policeman
PAT supporters had reportedly taken the pistol from Inspector Asghar from the Kahuta police station but returned it soon after negotiations facilitated by PAT General Secretary Khurram Nawaz Gandapur.
Tahirul Qadri's supporters have set up various 'check posts' on their own in the federal capital where they stop every vehicle as well as pedestrians and frisk everyone, including policemen and media personnel.
One of the protesters told Express News that the pistol was taken from the policeman but was given back after negotiations.
He claimed that the policeman wanted to go to the Supreme Court but they did not allow him to proceed with the pistol.
"We told him to give us the pistol and then go, and take it back on his way back," he added.

when the state resorts to hooliganism/barbarism like what happened in June in Lahore. Wrong precedence is definitely set when the state resorts to victimization rather then resorting to justice and impartiality. I am not saying this is correct. Two wrongs certainly dont make it right but a system which doesn't dispenses true justice eventually vigilantism is bound to happen like for few instances it happened on streets of Karachi when few dacoits were lynched by commoners of Karachi.
What is this non sense; a state within a state? Where is writ of the government?
Who give me authority to check the citizen of Islamabad? Why local police are not act according to law as their duty to act. They arrest them one by one and took into truck and through far from city at least 200 KM without cell phone and shoes. and not put them into custody and daily basis they arrest and through them far area. due to this no FIR and no attend to the courts.
