Islamabad: Senator Kamran Murtaza has urged the government to avoid any forceful action at Mufti Mahmood Centre and to follow the proper legal process before taking any step.
In a statement, the central president of Jamiat Lawyers Forum Pakistan said that if the government had any objection or issue regarding the centre, it should first issue a proper legal notice to the concerned party.
He said the concerned party should be given reasonable time to present its position and take necessary steps. Senator Murtaza said a period of 10 to 15 days should be provided so that the matter could be handled through consultation and in accordance with the law.
The senator warned that any action which could lead to an unpleasant incident or create serious problems should be avoided. He stressed that the issue should be resolved through mutual understanding, legal procedures and agreement between the parties, rather than steps that could increase tensions.
Senator Murtaza further said that if any unfortunate incident occurred as a result of such action, the government would be responsible. He called on the authorities to act with caution, seriousness and patience, and to avoid decisions that could make the situation more tense.
He said the government should deal with the matter responsibly and provide the concerned party an opportunity to respond before taking any further step.
His statement comes amid concerns over the proposed operation at Mufti Mahmood Centre. However, the statement did not provide details of the government’s objections, the legal status of the centre, or any official notice or response from the authorities.
According to Senator Murtaza, the matter should be settled through dialogue and the proper legal process to prevent an avoidable confrontation.
