Police registered a case against Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) secretary general Maulana Fazlur Rehman, MMA Punjab President Liaqat Baloch, secretary general Ejaz Hashmi, Maulana Abdul Jalil Naqvi, Senator Sajid Mir, MNA Gul Rehman, district president Sheikh Shahid Hamid, Rana Zahid Farooq and 49 other activists for violating Section 144 of the Pakistan Penal Code. The accused are charged with inciting hatred in their speeches, creating a law and order situation and chanting slogans against the government on May 11 in a public rally at Jogi Chowk. Allegedly, police here sealed the first information report after the case's registration. No one had been arrested yet.| Yeah. Right. We're waiting. I'd guess there'll be token arrests, immediate bail, and then the whole matter will be quietly dropped. We've seen this before. |
