In a pre-dawn operation on Monday, Islamabad police arrested retired Lt Gen Amjad Shoaib for allegedly inciting the populace against a state institution.
The police filed a First Information Report (FIR) against him in accordance with Sections 153A and 505 of the Pakistan Criminal Code (PPC) at the Ramna police station.Following his interview on a private news station, Islamabad magistrate Awais Khan filed a charge against him.
The complainant said that during the interview that aired on February 25th at night, the former army officer tried to agitate the public.
In response to a query regarding the PTI Chairman’s ongoing court arrest campaign, Mr. Shuaib indicated it would not succeed and urged they rethink their approach. Let’s assume they claim that no one will visit governmental offices in Islamabad; if people heed your appeal, the government might take notice, he said.
The complaint said that Mr. Shuaib had made an attempt to excite the opposition and government workers through his statement, and that this could lead to instability in the nation. He requested the government to punish the former army officer.
