Planning Minister Ahsan Iqbal has said that the events of May 9 cannot be categorised as a political protest in “any country under any circumstance”.
Referring to the 2021 attack on the US Capitol Hill, he questioned whether US lawmakers would write to their own government to release those who attacked the building in Washington.
“No democracy in the world allows protest to be turned into terrorism, chaos, arson and wherever these activities are conducted, they are taken up with the law.”
The minister asserted that security agencies had gathered evidence to trace those responsible for the May 9 violence.
