LAHORE: The caretaker Pakistan Punjab government has presented evidence of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) involvement in terrorism to the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC), Sikander Sultan Raja in a bid to declare it a banned organisation, the media reported.

According to details, the CEC arrived at the Chief Minister House in Lahore to meet Caretaker Punjab Chief Minister Mohsin Naqvi on Thursday, Express News reported.

A high-level briefing session was held under their chairmanship. The meeting strongly condemned the terrorist incidents of May 9 and expressed complete solidarity with the Pakistan Army.

During the meeting, the CEC and members were presented with solid evidence of the involvement in the May 9 “terrorist” incidents by a political party, including briefings, images, videos, and messaging proofs. Speaking on the occasion, Mohsin Naqvi said that on May 9, a political party disgraced the entire nation and carried out planned attacks on military installations, Express Tribune reported. He said that evidence of contacts between attackers and party leadership present in Lahore’s Zaman Park came to light through geo-fencing. “A dirty game was played in the guise of politics, and the initial estimate suggests a loss of Rs 600 million to the national exchequer,” he added.
