Islamabad operation initiated without the consent of political leadership: Iqbal

F.P. Report

ISLAMABAD: Federal Interior Minister, Ahsan Iqbal has said that operation against protestors at Faizabad was conducted without the consent of the political leadership.

Iqbal said that if the executive were not given the required time to execute its responsibilities than how would the performance improve in the country, he questioned.

While the matter is over now, it needs to be review how to provide assistance to those who were suffered and the state that faced the loss during the sit-in at Faizabad.

Iqbal further added that some group of political and religious parties were trying to take political benefits from the issue and making it political issue which was main reason behind the problems in these three weeks.

Following the voluntary resignation of Federal Law Minister Zahid Hamid, the government and Faizabad protesters reached an agreement on Monday to end the sit-in. A religious party made the official announcement to end the sit-in.
