ISLAMABAD: A Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) MNA called for the release of Malik Mumtaz Qadri, the man who gunned down Punjab Governor Salmaan Taseer in 2011.
PTI MNA from Mardan, Mujahid Ali Khan made the demand during a debate on the budget in the National Assembly.
Another PTI MNA Arif Alvi clarified that Khan had made this demand in his personal capacity, and this had nothing to do with the party.
Earlier in 2011, PTI chairman Imran Khan had condemned Qadris reception as a hero on the premises of the Anti Terrorism Court, Rawalpindi.
Extremism and radicalism have penetrated our society deeply, he had said, adding that it is especially harmful for the youth.
