PESHAWAR: KPK Chief Minster Pervaiz Khattak on Friday moved the Peshawar High Court against Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif and Inspector General Mushtaq Sukhera for subjecting Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf workers to torture on October 31.
The petition appealed to the PHC to declare shelling, torturing and blockade of roads by the respondents, including police officers of Punjab, illegal.
The petition was filed by Khattak, K-P Health Minister Shahram Tarakai and Education Minister Atif Khan through their counsel Babar Awan. The petitioners adopted the stance that they (the demonstrators) were exercising their fundamental right to join a peaceful assembly in the federal capital which they were not allowed to exercise.
