ISLAMABAD: Senator Kamran Murtaza has cautioned the government against taking any forceful action at Mufti Mahmood Centre, urging the authorities to proceed strictly in line with the law and give the concerned party an opportunity to respond.
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 serve a proper legal notice and allow reasonable time for the concerned party to present its position.
He said a period of 10 to 15 days should be given so that the matter could be addressed through consultation and legal procedure.
Senator Murtaza warned that any step that may lead to an unpleasant incident or create serious difficulties should be avoided. He said the issue should be resolved through mutual understanding, lawful process and agreement between the parties instead of taking measures that could heighten tensions.
He further stated that if any unfortunate incident occurred as a result of such action, the responsibility would rest with the government. He urged the authorities to demonstrate caution, seriousness and patience, and avoid decisions that could further complicate the situation.
The senator said the government should handle the matter responsibly and provide the concerned party a chance to respond before moving ahead with any further step.
His remarks come amid concerns over the proposed operation at Mufti Mahmood Centre. However, the statement did not mention 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 proper legal process to prevent an avoidable confrontation.
