ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) has rejected a petition filed by Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi against former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. The top leadership of the party was accused of killing Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) workers in a clash during a 2014 sit-in in Islamabad. It was pointed out that neither Shah Mehmood Qureshi followed the case in the police nor the top leadership of PML-N including former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, former federal ministers Khawaja Saad Rafique, Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan and former The Punjab Chief Minister presented evidence against the allegations leveled against Shahbaz Sharif. Others named in the said petition include former Acting Inspector General of Islamabad Police Khalid Khattak.Other police officials and the district administration of Islamabad are involved. The court said, "The matter was investigated in detail and the police concluded that the protesters intended to occupy the government building and attack the security personnel, which led to several arrests." The policemen were injured, so the petition / complaint was found to be baseless without merit. Anti-terrorism court judge Raja Jawad Ibad Hassan added in the judgment that the notice to cancel the report has been given to the complainant Shah Mehmood Qureshi. However, despite several notices, the complainants did not appear before the court. The court order said, "The record shows that despite several notices sent under Section 160 of the Criminal Procedure Code, the complainant did not appear before the investigating officer." No evidence was presented to substantiate the allegations made in the petition.According to the court order, no list of witnesses or evidence was presented in the anti-terrorism court. The court said that no evidence was presented before the investigating officer to prove the presence of the accused at the scene. At the same time, there was nothing in the record to prove that the accused resorted to firing on political activists or used their power to fire directly on political activists gathered at D-Chowk.
