Minister for Interior Rana Sanaullah says Zaman Park operation was conducted to clear the no-go areas and to arrest the miscreants hiding inside.

In an interview with a private news channel, he said the police were fired upon and pelted with stones from inside the house, which is regrettable.

He claimed that in the course of the operation, weapons have been seized and slingshots used to pelt stones at the police were recovered from the house.

The Interior Minister said the recovery of weapons from inside the house shows the mindset of Imran Khan, who wants chaos and anarchy in the country.
