PAT supporters return weapon after negotiations facilitated by PAT general secretary
ISLAMABAD:
Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) protesters have returned a pistol that they seized from a policeman while searching him at a 'check post' set up by them in Islamabad this morning, Express News reported on Wednesday.
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.
