Punjab govt to send reference against judge

LAHORE: The caretaker Punjab government has decided to send a reference against a judge for ‘facilitating terrorists’.

The decision was taken in a high-level meeting chaired by Punjab caretaker CM Mohsin Naqvi in Lahore to review the progress of legal proceedings against the miscreants involved in the incidents of May 9.

The meeting approved cash rewards for identifying the accused involved in the incidents of terrorism. The participants in the meeting expressed concern over the ‘facilitation’ of the accused named in the attack on the ISI office.

The caretaker chief minister, while ordering a follow-up of the cases registered against the miscreants, said that the arrest of the fleeing miscreants should be ensured as soon as possible.

The participants were briefed that arrests are being insured with the help of NADRA and 628 calls of rioters with the top leadership of a political party have been traced.

Naqvi said violence on May 9 was ‘preplanned’, which will be remembered as Black Day in the country’s history.
