ISLAMABAD, May 18 (NNI): Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan should openly condemn the May 9 events, President Arif Alvi said Thursday, in which public properties and military installations were attacked, according to a geo.tv report.
In an interview with a private television channel, the president called for taking action against the miscreants involved in the events.
The president also added that during the trials, the suspects’ human rights should be respected and they shouldn’t be tortured. “The people involved should be punished in line with the law,” he said.
The president added that the PTI chairman did not oppose Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Asim Munir.
“Imran Khan asked me to tell General Bajwa that he should accept anyone whom the institution approves as the next chief,” President Alvi said.
“I do not intervene in the institution’s matters. I’ve repeatedly said this,” he said. NNI
