PTI senior vice president Fawad Chaudhry said the events of May 9 were “extremely regrettable” and whoever was involved, whether from the PTI or not, should be investigated and brought to justice.

Talking to the media after he came out of the Islamabad High Court (IHC), he said as a spokesperson of the PTI, he condemned the attacks on Lahore’s Corps Commander House and defense installations. “Every person who belongs to Pakistan and Pakistan Army was sad at what happened on May 9,” he added.

He went on to say that he belonged to district Jhelum, adding that his district was a residential place of army martyrs. “None of our graveyards is without martyrs’ graves,” he added.

Mr Chaudhry said whoever belonged to Pakistan had cordial relations with Pakistan Army, adding that we had to formulate our policy keeping this in mind. “If the police want to arrest me, I am here to court voluntary arrest,” he added.
