FAISALABAD: An Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) has indicted Senator Shibli Faraz in a case related to the arson of a police van during the May 9 protests.

However, the court cancelled the non-bailable arrest warrants issued against him for non-appearance. Speaking to the media outside the court, Faraz criticized the government’s reluctance to form an independent commission to investigate the May 9 and November 26 incidents. He announced the party’s decision to boycott negotiations, citing the government’s bad faith.
