Police given 'free hand' to establish writ of state: Mohsin Naqvi

[GEO.TV] Caretaker Punjab

2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers
3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots....

Chief Minister Mohsin Naqvi Monday said he had given a "free hand" to the police to establish the writ of the state in the province — a move that comes in the wake of an outbreak of politically-motivated hostilities that turned a posh neighbourhood of the bustling provincial capital into a warzone.

at his home, and later with police in Islamabad as he arrived to appear before a court on Saturday.

CM Naqvi, during a presser, shared that he was, earlier, asking the law enforcement agencies to hold back but would no longer do so.

"We are also forming a JIT on the incidents that happened in the last five to seven days," said Naqvi.

"Right now it is really important to establish the writ of the state and writ of the government," said the interim CM. He added that law enforcement agencies had reached the gate of Khan’s residence twice but he called them back.

The caretaker CM said that the reason he asked them to return was that he did not want "anything to happen" that would ruin the environment or cause a loss of life.

Naqvi also shared that when the police cleared Canal Road, a cop returning from duty was attacked and an Elite Force car was attacked the same night.

"We told the coppers this morning that you can do what you want to do establish the writ of the government. If anyone challenges the police, they will break their hand," said the CM.

He added that it was not possible that the cops could continue getting a beating just because he had asked them to hold themselves back.
