LAHORE (The Thursday Times) — Lahore ki anti-terrorism court ne Mangal ko 9 May ke Jinnah House hamle ke muqadme mein PTI rehnuma Hammad Azhar ke jismani remand mein mazeed izafa dene se police ko inkar kar diya aur sabiq wazir-e-khazana ko judicial remand par jail bhej diya. Un ke wakeel ke mutabiq, is tarah police hirasat mein 50 din ka silsila khatm ho gaya.
Dawn ki report ke mutabiq, tehqeeqati afsar ne Azhar ka polygraph test karane ke liye mazeed waqt manga tha. Un ke wakeel Barrister Abuzar Salman Niazi ne dalil di ke lie detector test ke liye mulzim ki razamandi zaroori hai aur Lahore High Court ke aik faisle ke teht yeh sirf judicial remand ke dauran, mulzim ke magistrate ke samne yeh bayan dene ke baad ke woh razamand hai ya nahin, kiya ja sakta hai. Azhar ne adalat ko bataya ke agar qanoon unhein inkar ki ijazat deta hai toh woh yeh test nahin karwana chahte, aur ke mulzim ko istighasa ki qanoon se bekhabri ki saza nahin deni chahiye.
Judge Sardar Muhammad Akram Khan ne police ki darkhwast khaarij kar di aur Azhar ko Kot Lakhpat jail bhej diya. "50 din ka jismani remand aakhir khatm ho gaya," Niazi ne X par likha.
Woh giraftari jis ke bare mein police ne kaha ke use kuch maloom nahin
Azhar ke ahl-e-khana ka kehna hai ke unhein 5 September ko giraftar kiya gaya; police ne agle din kaha ke use kisi giraftari ka ilm nahin, aur unhein 7 September ko anti-terrorism court mein pesh kiya gaya. Un ka ibtidai 21 din ka jismani remand kam az kam do baar barhaya gaya, aur aakhri baar 12 din ke liye. Sarwar Road police ne Jinnah House par hamle ke sabab mutaddid PTI rehnumaon aur karkunon ke khilaf muqadma darj kiya, jo Lahore ke corps commander ki rihaishgah hai. Yeh hamla 9 May 2023 ko Imran Khan ki giraftari ke baad hone wale ehtijaj ke dauran hua.
Azhar ke paas PTI ki hukumat mein maliyat, sanaat aur tawanai ke qalamdan thay. Woh hangamon ke baad shuru hone wali sakht karrawai ke dauran rooposh ho gaye aur 22 May 2024 ko dobara samne aaye. 2025 mein unhon ne Imran Khan tak rasai na milne ka hawala dete hue party ke Punjab chapter ke sadr ke ohde se mustafi hone ka apna faisla dohraya.
