LAHORE: Governor Balighur Rehman on Wednesday telephoned Lahore Corps Commander Lt-Gen Salman Fayyaz Ghani and inquired about his and his family’s well-being.
He said the mob by attacking the Jinnah House, not only damaged an important national asset related to the founder of Pakistan, Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, but also tainted our values and high traditions.
He expressed hope that this situation of anarchy would end soon.
A footage circulating on social media shows the PTI protesters carrying clubs and party flags besieging the corps commander’s house in the Cantonment area.
The protesters broke the main gate of the corps commander’s house while chanting slogans against the arrest of the PTI chairman. The footage also shows the protesters breaking windowpanes, TV sets and furniture in the house, and setting trees and furniture on fire.
