He said that the course of law and justice will not be hampered and tempering with the record of the injured persons will not be tolerated. He said that police authorities and provincial administration have been given instructions in this regard.

The Chief Minister made an appeal to Minhajul Quran administration, in the name of justice and humanity, to withdraw its decision of boycott of the judicial commission, as judicial process is the only source of ensuring justice and its boycott will be a grave injustice to the deceased persons and their families.
