An anti-terrorism court in Lahore on Saturday issued non-bailable arrest warrants for PML-N leader Marriyum Aurangzeb due to her repeated absence from the court in a terror case registered against her last year.<\/p>\n
The case was registered<\/a> against Aurangzeb and senior PML-N leader Javed Latif in Lahore on Sep 19, 2022 for allegedly \u201cusing religion to instill and spread hatred\u201d against PTI chief and former prime minister Imran Khan.<\/p>\n The first information report (FIR) was filed by a citizen \u2014 an imam of a local mosque \u2014 at Green Town Police Station of the provincial capital. In the FIR, the complainant said he came across a press conference of PML-N\u2019s Latif on Sep 14 in which he hurled disturbing accusations at Imran in the name of religion.<\/p>\n Pakistan Television managing director and controller programme had also been nominated in the case. The complaint said the press conference was shown on national television.<\/p>\n At the hearing today, Advocate Farhad Ali Shah, representing Latif and Aurangzeb, appeared before the court.<\/p>\n ATC Judge Abher Gul Khan inquired about the whereabouts of the suspects and was informed that Latif had appeared, while Aurangzeb had not.<\/p>\n Consequently, the judge issued non-bailable arrest warrants for the former information minister and directed all suspects named in the case to appear before the court on December 9.<\/p>\n According to the FIR, the complainant had said Latif accused the PTI chief of \u201cattacking the basic principles of Islam\u201d by \u201csupporting\u201d the Ahmediyya community during his tenure.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen Imran made the Naya Pakistan, units of Qadianis became active in Karachi [\u2026] Did Imran not give interviews to the foreign media in which he said that Qadianis will be given religious freedom,\u201d Latif had said.<\/p>\n Later the same day, leaders of the PTI had lambasted the then coalition government \u2014 particularly the PML-N \u2014 for \u201cusing religion to spread hatred\u201d against Imran.<\/p>\n According to FIR, the complainant said the PTI chairman was an ardent follower of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) and a patriotic Pakistani who was recognised the world over for his welfare works. He added that Imran also spearheaded efforts for the inclusion of content related to the Seerat-un-Nabi (PBUH) in curriculums at primary school levels.<\/p>\n \u201cIn his press conference, Latif declared Imran as non-Muslim and he deliberately used these words to incite his followers and create a law and order situation,\u201d the complaint said.<\/p>\n The FIR had said Latif made the controversial remarks at the behest of the party leadership as well as Aurangzeb in order to spread religious hatred against Imran.<\/p>\n The complainant had said he watched another presser by Latif a day later wherein he insisted that he stood by his earlier statement.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" An anti-terrorism court in Lahore on Saturday issued non-bailable arrest warrants for PML-N leader Marriyum Aurangzeb due to her repeated absence from the court in a terror case registered against her last year.
