LAHORE: The PML-N has filed a petition in the Lahore High Court against non-cooperative attitude of police for not providing record of the cases registered against its leaders and workers ahead of the arrival of Nawaz Sharif and Maryam Safdar at Lahore airport.

The party through its Lahore-chapter president Pervez Malik filed the petition pleading that the police refused to provide FIRs lodged against the workers and leaders of the party. He alleged that police had also been harassing the party’s leaders/workers.

The petitioner said not only the police registered cases against them but inserted sections of anti-terrorism law in them in violation of law. He stated that they approached the police officials for provision of FIRs lodged against the party workers but they did not cooperate with them.

He said such an attitude of police was against the law. He asked the court to order the police to provide copies of the FIRs to the party workers.
