Nisar expresses concern over journalist’s arrest during sting operation
In a sting operation, Iqrar entered Sindh Assembly with crew member carrying pistol, without being checked by security guards
By: APPISLAMABAD – Federal Minister for Interior Affairs Chaudhary Nisar Ali Khan on Friday expressed concern over arrest of an anchor of a private television channel Iqrarul Hasan in Karachi.
In a statement issued here, the minister said the federal and provincial governments should learn a lesson and get guidance instead of showing an annoyance on such a sting operation. He said sting operations are common in the world but Iqrar was misbehaved in Karachi. Nisar directed the secretary interior to contact Sindh Inspector General of Police to settle the matter in a positive manner.
As per details, in a sting operation, Iqrar entered the Sindh assembly building along with one of the crew members carrying a pistol, without being checked by the security guards. Once inside, he presented the weapon before the speaker, shocking the lawmakers. Sindh interior minister, instead of addressing the opposition's concerns, requested the speaker to order arrest of armed man and his team members.
