Protest against failure to arrest kidnappers Monday, July 21, 2008 By Our Correspondent LAHORE JAMAAT Ahl-e-Sunnat Pakistan (JASP) here on Sunday staged a protest demonstration against failure of police to arrest kidnappers of Pir Chura Sharif Syed Kabir Ali Shah’s son. Members of various organisations participated in the protest held outside the Lahore Press Club. The protesters gave four days ultimatum to the government for arresting the accused. They announced that they would besiege CM’s House in case the police failed to arrest the accused in four days. They said the inability of the police in arresting the accused, who had tortured and kidnapped Hafiz Ahmed Mustafin, son of Pir Chura Sharif Syed Kabir Ali Shah, in eight days was reflective of government’s incompetence and unwillingness to protect life and property of its citizens. They asked the CM to take personal notice of the incident. They announced that after passing of the deadline, the JASP leaders would decide future strategy in a conference. Syed Muhammad Safdar Shah Gillani, Pir Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri and Maulana Muhammad Ali Rizvi led the demonstration.
