ISLAMABAD - Chairman of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Imran Khan while expressing his extreme concern over the growing incidents of police torture in the country like the one happening in Sialkot recently has ascribed them to the politicisation of the police and civil servants.

In utter violation of the Quaids dictum, the rulers have been using the state machinery as hired assassins in the realisation of their political objectives with the result that there is a jungles law in the country and the law and order has touched its nadir. The PTI chairman demanded exemplary punishment for those involved in taking law into their own hands in Sialkot. He also accused the rulers of sidelining honest police officers, which, he said, has spread discontentment among the police service. Moreover, the central information secretary of the PTI Omar Cheema has said an erroneous impression has been created by a section of the press that Imran Khan in a TV talk show with Dr Shahid Masood on Monday supported the statement of Altaf Hussain inviting patriotic generals to clean the Aegean stables of the government.

He said it has always been principled stand of the PTI that martial law is no panacea for the problems of the country. PTI is considering of holding a national conference after Eid to find a solution within the constitutional framework of the problems countries facing, he added.
