We have right to provide police protection to our members: Yousaf Raza Gillani

Islamabad: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader and Senator Yousaf Raza Gillani on Thursday said that our Members of National Assembly (MNAs) were attacked in the Parliament Lodges.

While talking to the media, the Senator said that the lawmakers were kept in the Sindh house on their request which is not illegal.

Reacting to a statement of Ali Zaidi, Yousaf Raza Gillani said that the Sindh House is the property of the Sindh government and it is our right to provide police protection to our members.

The PPP leader also stated that there were only PPP members on the premises. 

Earlier, Federal Minister for Maritime Affairs Ali Haider Zaidi has sent a letter on Thursday to the Secretary Establishment in which he raised concerns about the Sindh government deploying provincial police to the federal capital.

The federal minister in his letter has requested the Secretary Establishment to hold an inquiry of the issue.

Ali Zaidi further said that Deputy Inspector General (DIG) special unit Maqsood Memon should also be interrogated on this foolish act.

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader bashed the Chief Minister (CM) Sindh Murad Ali Shah and said that the CM should explain the presence of Sindh police in Islamabad.
