“All fake cases registered against the PTI workers will be dissolved and the responsible officers will be held accountable.”

“Legal action will be taken against the representatives of the fascist government. They had violated the law in Punjab and later in the federal capital Islamabad. PML-N had used Punjab and Islamabad police departments for its political motives.”

The Punjab home minister said that the PML-N leaders were now trying to hide from the authorities due to fear of getting arrested. “We will not treat you in same way which you have done with us. How many days you will hide from us. You will have to face the music in accordance with the law.”
