ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Opposition Leader in the National Assembly Omar Ayub called for a thorough judicial inquiry into the firing incidents on peaceful protesters, which resulted in the loss of lives and mass arrests.
Addressing the National Assembly session, Ayub stated that 12 Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) workers were martyred, and over 5,000 were detained during the incident.
"Our protest was entirely peaceful — not a single thing was broken," he said. He also compared the recent violence to the Model Town incident during the tenure of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. He alleged that the November 26 killing was yet another example of state brutality.
