The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) opposition party Jamiat Ulema-e-Islami (JUI-F) has said that two members of the party’s National Assembly and other volunteers were arrested on Thursday (March 10) in the Parliament Lodge. , And has withdrawn the voice of protest.
Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F) leader Maulana Lana Fazlur Rehman, who also heads the Union of Opposition Groups (PDM), said police had arrested and harassed elected representatives at the Parliament Lodge in Islamabad yesterday. Opposition groups called for a boycott of the assembly.
He said their MPs and other volunteers had been released before dawn and that those who had said they would take to the streets were no longer required to take to the streets.
Islamabad police said yesterday that members of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam’s Ansar-ul-Islam organization had come to the Parliament Lodge because they had carried out the operation to oust them.
Islamabad police said on Twitter that two members of the National Assembly, Salahuddin Ayubi and Jamaluddin, had not been arrested.
The incident took place in Islamabad yesterday after opposition parties filed a no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Imran Khan.

And Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid says the no-confidence motion is the right of the opposition but says that whatever the opposition does, it will lead the country to civil war.
Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz and People’s Party leaders Shahbaz Sharif and Bilawal Bhutto have also strongly condemned the move by Islamabad police.
Maj. Gen. Babar Iftikhar, then head of the Army Spokesman’s Office, told a news conference that police had nothing to do with the army’s policy because the army was not involved in the operation. No one questioned the political character.
Maj. Gen. Babar Iftikhar’s statement came as PPP leader Bilawal Bhutto said the no-confidence motion against the government would also be a test for the establishment to decide whether to remain neutral on the issue.
But government minister Fawad Chaudhry says the army stands with the government because it says it is the army’s sole responsibility.
