FIR registered against Rana Sanaullah on terrorism charges

Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah — PID/File

GUJRAT: A case was registered against Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah on charges of terrorism and interference in government matters on Thursday.  The case was filed in the Industrial Area Police Station of Gujrat by a citizen.  The first information report (FIR) stated that Sanaullah threatened to kill the children of government officials and said that they won't get any help from Pakistan's court and its judiciary. The FIR added that Sanaullah said they [government] will surround those judges who are going to promote PTI's agenda.
"Rana Sanaullah's statement was to terrorise the judiciary, chief secretary and other government officials and to not let them do their job so that they are unable to fulfil their judicial commitments," stated the report citing an old video of the PML-N leader. The FIR mentioned that the minister's statement has caused fear and terror among the judiciary, authorities, police, bureaucracy and the nation. Soon after the news came out, PML-Q senior leader Moonis Elahi said that the interior minister will be arrested soon. "You make false cases against Imran Khan, now the Pakistani nation has registered a true case against you," he wrote on Twitter. The PML-Q leader was referencing the case registered against PTI Chairman Imran Khan, last week, for threatening an additional sessions judge and senior police officers of the Islamabad Police at a rally in the federal capital’s F-9 Park. The FIR had claimed that Khan threatened Additional Sessions Judge Zeba Chaudhry and police officers to “terrorise” the law enforcement agency and the judiciary after which the arrest warrants for the PTI leader were issued.

Imran Khan can be arrested if govt decides: Rana Sanaullah

ISLAMABAD:  Minister for Interior Rana Sanaullah on Tuesday said that PTI Chairperson Imran Khan can be arrested if the coalition government decides. Speaking on Geo News show "Aaj Shahzab Khanzada Kay Saath", the minister said: "If Khan is arrested, they [PTI and supporters] will not be able to do what they are threatening to do." During the show, Sanaullah said that Gill’s comments, which have landed him in jail on charges of sedition, "were not the act of an individual" and it was a move "by the party". He added that PTI’s social media wing was involved. Sanaullah said that during police inquiry, "Gill admitted that it was a written statement". The minister asked why "PTI has not apologised" for the negative propaganda on social media against martyrs of the helicopter crash. He alleged that those involved in the campaign were from PTI. Sanaullah said that Punjab is not being ruled by PTI; in fact, "it is being ruled by PML-Q and the biggest thief". “The Punjab government cannot continue this way. The internal stories we are hearing are bizzare,” he said, adding whatever is going on between PTI and PML-Q at present "will not go on in the future".

PTI's Gill 'torture drama' concocted to divert attention from anti-state narrative: Rana Sanaullah

Minister for Interior Rana Sanaullah on Sunday said that the recent "drama" by the PTI where it has repeatedly alleged that chairman Imran Khan's chief of staff Shahbaz Gill was tortured is nothing but a "lie" with the aim of diverting attention from the party's "anti-state" narrative.

Addressing a press conference in Islamabad, the interior minister said: "Shahbaz Gill had everything planned with the private television channel, from when they will call him, to how long the conversation will run."

He was referring to the August 8 conversation on television by Gill where he spoke against the army. The next day he was arrested on sedition charges.

"I can confirm as the interior minister that no torture was carried out against Gill," said Sanaullah.

The interior minister denounced Khan's remarks from the night prior, when he addressed a rally and spoke at length against the police and judiciary, saying that "Imran Niazi's narrative is an anti-state agenda".
