ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Interior Rana Sanaullah Khan on Wednesday said that the country could not be left at the mercy of “riotous groups and mischievous elements” without naming any political party.
“Any riots and chaos would not be allowed to take place in the capital under any circumstances,” he said while chairing a meeting with regards to enhancing the operational capacity of Islamabad Police and Frontier Constabulary in Islamabad.
“Riot March and evil elements would be dealt as per law,” the interior minister warned, in an apparent reference to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) upcoming but not finalised long march to Islamabad.
He added that the federal cabinet strongly condemned the rioters’ violent attacks at police, Rangers and FC personnel.
Sanaullah said that the cabinet paid rich tributes to the police, Rangers and FC personnel for handling riots in a professional manner and for ensuring law and order.
