ISLAMABAD: Authorities in Punjab have decided to arrest the chief of an obscure political party which begged the army chief in a posters campaign earlier this week to launch a coup.
The authorities decided to arrest the chief of ‘Move on Pakistan’ party, Muhammad Kamran, Faisalabad-based businessman, on charges of inviting martial law in the country. They have also decided to probe Kamran’s sources of income, businesses and assets.
According to sources, the FIA had some time ago raided the party’s offices located on Sargodha Road in Faisalabad and recovered cars worth millions of rupees whose customs duties had not been paid. They added that Kamran was also involved in cyber-crimes and other questionable practices.
Leader of the opposition in the Senate Aitzaz Ahsan, meanwhile, demanded on Wednesday that members of the Move on Pakistan party should be immediately arrested and put on trial for treason.
