The interim government in Pakistan’s Punjab province has given a 24-hour deadline to the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party chief Imran Khan to handover all “30-40 terrorists that have taken refuge” at his residence here, according to a media report on Wednesday.
The Caretaker Information Minister Aamir Mir while addressing a press conference in Lahore said, “PTI should hand over these terrorists or the law will take its course,” Geo News reported.Referring to the May 9 protesters as ‘terrorists’, Mir said that the government was aware of their presence at Khan’s Zaman Park residence as it had credible intelligence reports.
“The intelligence report that has come is very alarming,” Mir was quoted as saying, adding that the agencies were able to confirm the presence of the “terrorists” in Zaman Park through geo-fencing.
Geo-fencing is a technology that allows the movements of a person, vehicle, etc. to be recorded or limited using satellite signals.
