Islamabad, June 6 (APP): Atta Tarar, the Special Assistant to the Prime Minister for Legal and Home Affairs, revealed that Abdul Razzaq Shar, the plaintiff, and lawyer in the high treason case against Chairman PTI, was brutally murdered. In light of this, Imran Khan will be named as a suspect in the case, ensuring a transparent investigation into the murder. Chairman PTI cannot evade accountability and may face arrest if necessary.
Tarar made these statements during a press conference held in Islamabad on Tuesday. He informed the media that the case filed against Chairman PTI under Articles 5 and 6, which was scheduled to be heard in Balochistan on Wednesday (yesterday), took a tragic turn when Abdul Razzaq Shar was attacked by two motorcyclists near Quetta Airport and ruthlessly shot to death. This targeted killing is an extremely rare incident.
Tarar emphasized that the high treason case against Chairman PTI had been ongoing for three or four hearings, and it was expected to reach a conclusive stage in the upcoming sessions. He held Imran Khan responsible for the targeted killing of Abdul Razzaq Shar, emphasizing that it was a brutal murder of a lawyer seeking justice. Razzaq Shar, a senior lawyer from the middle class, had no other personal or professional disputes. He was solely targeted due to his role as a plaintiff and lawyer against Imran Khan.
The Special Assistant stated that a case would be registered against Imran Khan, and a thorough investigation would be conducted. He expressed concern that Khan has been granted relief by the courts in other cases, which cannot be allowed in the pending high treason case. Tarar also accused PTI of becoming an extremist and terrorist party, highlighting their involvement in violent incidents, including the events of May 9. He claimed that had PTI members been held accountable for their actions during protests in 2014, the May 9 incident could have been prevented.
Tarar firmly asserted that Chairman PTI cannot evade this case and must be held accountable, appearing in court as required. If necessary, he may face arrest. Law enforcement agencies have been instructed to utilize all available resources for a transparent investigation of the incident.
Tarar further mentioned that Imran Khan intends to intimidate and threaten those who pursue cases against him, warning them of dire consequences. However, he assured that Abdul Razzaq Shar's sacrifice will not be in vain, and the corruption cases against the PTI chief will be expedited.
