Staff Report

ISLAMABAD: Former Senate Chairman and Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader Raza Rabbani has condemned the police raid conducted at PTI leader Shahbaz Gill’s residence at Parliament lodges.
PPP Senator Raza Rabbani while condemning the police raid said that the sanctity of Parliament Lodges was violated for the second time in four months.
“First the former and now the current government has violated the sanctity of Parliament Lodges,” he said, pointing out that the police cannot carry out any action within the premises of Parliament Lodges without the Speaker’s permission.
The former Senate Chairman added that no one raised voice against the police entry into Parliament Lodges and Punjab Assembly. “We are destroying the sanctity of democratic institutions with our own hands,” he regretted.
