He said protestors were peaceful but police opened fire, killing two PAT workers and injuring dozens on the orders of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar.
“We submitted a request in the Secretariat Police Station for registration of case, however, police did not take any action” he added.
After hearing arguments, the court ordered police to register case.
PAT has nominated Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, Chief Minister of Punjab Shahbaz Sharif, Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar, Railway Minister Saad Rafique, Defence Minister Khwaja Asif, IG Islamabad, IG Railway, Commissioner Islamabad and other high officials.
