Khawaja Asif Calls for Action Against May 9 Masterminds and Violence

Defense Minister Khawaja Asif has urged the government to take strict action against the masterminds behind the May 9 vandalism, which saw violent attacks on military installations. The ISPR has described the events as politically motivated acts of violence, representing one of the darkest chapters in Pakistan's history. A total of 25 individuals have been sentenced for their role in the riots, but the delay in justice has emboldened facilitators of the accused. The government has been called upon to take swift and stern measures against those responsible, with PM Shehbaz urging strict measures against tax defaulters as well. The situation remains tense, with many calling for accountability and an end to such violent incidents in the future.
