TOBA TEK SINGH: Gojra City police on Wednesday registered a case against 36 PTI activists including seven nominated and 29 other unidentified activists for taking out a procession on May 9 (seven months ago) and raising slogans against the Pakistan army.
Police arrested two, a defeated PTI candidate from NA-105 Usama Hamza (son of former PML-N late Senator M Hamza) and Gojra tehsil PTI general secretary Rana Kashif Aslam. However other four nominated activists could not be arrested in raids conducted by police.
In his FIR registered under sections 501,109 505-1(C) and 505(2) of PPC and sections 4,5,16,11,20 and 22 of the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act 2016, the complainant Haider Karar Jat of Chak 306 JB claimed that he was present on May 9 in Malkanwala Chowk when he witnessed that Usama Hamza, Rana Kashif Aslam, Ahsan Ihsan Gujjar(son of a former late PML-N MPA Ihsanul Haq Gujjar), Shabbir Gujjar, Feheem Wahla and Naeem Bhuller were leading a procession along with 30 others and chanting slogans against Pakistan army.
Meanwhile, PTI district president advocate Mian Abdul Basit condemned the arrest of two party leaders of Gojra. He said police broke the gate of the house of Usama and similarly scaled into the houses of other party activists. He said it was a pity that Usama Hamza, who was a ticket holder from NA-105, had been arrested when he was going to file his nomination papers. He said everyone knows that arresting PTI workers in the so-called case registered seven months ago was a conspiracy to prevent PTI candidates from filing nomination papers.

Complainant Muhammad Arif of Chak 382 JB, claimed in his FIR that on May 9 former PTI MPA Saeed Ahmad Saeedi and 26 other activists took out a procession at Shahbaz Chowk and chanted slogans against the Pakistan army due to which his sentiments had been hurt.
