Police on Monday registered a case against Opposition Leader in the National Assembly Mehmood Khan Achakzai, accusing him of allegedly spreading hatred against state institutions and criticizing the present government while addressing a public gathering.
The FIR also names other leaders of Achakzai’s Pashtunkhwa Milli Awami Party, who also addressed the same public gathering. It accuses the named individuals of allegedly provocative speeches against state institutions.
The FIR alleges that Achakzai told a public gathering the law and order situation in Balochistan continued to deteriorate and the current government had completely failed to ensure security for the public. It accuses the opposition leader of describing the incumbent government as a “Form-47 fake government.” It further claims he proposed the formation of an alternative force by recruiting people from various tribes in competition with the Pakistan Army.
The charge-sheet goes on to allege the accused encouraged people across Pakistan to become Afghan proxies, thereby attempting to create hatred and unrest between state institutions and the public.
The case has been registered under Sections 153, 505, 131, 341, 147, and 149 of the Pakistan Penal Code, as well as under the Balochistan Sound System Regulation Act, 2016.
