‘Do you teach humanity?’ CM Sohail grills cop
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi confronted a police officer after his security staff were stopped at the Supreme Court gate on Tuesday.
The incident occurred when an Islamabad police officer asked members of the chief minister’s security team to have their bags checked before entering the premises.
The staff initially attempted to proceed without getting the bags scanned. The police officer stopped them and insisted that the security check be completed.
The exchange between the police officer and the chief minister’s staff turned into a verbal argument. The situation caught the attention of Chief Minister Sohail Afridi, who turned back after noticing the dispute.
Afridi then spoke directly to the police officer. During the conversation, the chief minister questioned whether police personnel were taught humanity during their training.
The police officer maintained that the security staff were required to have their bags checked. Following the officer’s insistence, the chief minister’s staff eventually complied and had their bags scanned.
The incident took place amid heightened security arrangements at the Supreme Court. Security personnel routinely check visitors, staff and belongings before allowing entry into sensitive government premises.
The brief confrontation ended after the required security screening was completed.
