Nisar takes notice of Sikhs entrance into parliament premises

ISLAMABAD: The Minister for Interior and Narcotics Control, Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan, taking notice of the incident that took place at the Parliament House directed for immediate suspension and charge sheeting of one SP, three DSPs and three SHOs.

Earlier, dozens of baton-wielding Sikhs pushed past the front gate and entered the premises of parliament, protesting against alleged desecration of their holy book.

Chairing a high-level meeting of Islamabad Administration and Police to review security situation in the Capital, Nisar directed the IGP to inculcate a perception in the mind of every person in uniform that he should be as vigilant and responsible as if the entire security of the city depends on him.

DC Islamabad and SSP Operations informed the interior minister that district administration and police had allowed the Sikhs under a negotiated understanding to hold a protest demonstration in front of the Islamabad Press Club.

However, he added that at the last moment seeing the focus of Islamabad police on the PTI rally the Sikh rally totally violated that understanding and started running towards the Parliament.
