Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has said the perpetrators of violence during protests after PTI Chairman Imran Khan’s arrest would be brought to justice.

“They will be given exemplary punishment […] and none of the planners, instigators and abettors would be given any concession,” he said during a visit to the Jinnah House in Lahore.

The premier maintained that Imran was fully responsible for the violence during the protests, alleging that he “planned and instigated it”.

He particularly condemned the “brutal attack” at the corps commander’s residence in Lahore, lamenting that the “attackers” did not even care that it was a historical building.

“There is no example of such enmity towards the country and brutality in the country’s history,” he said, pledging that the law would bring the perpetrators to justice.
