She said that the federal government had superimposed its own investigation committee by removing the JIT constituted by PTI’s punjab government, and that evidences already recorded about the incident were now being covered up as part of a criminal activity.
She said they objected to the new Joint Investigation Team (JIT) constituted by the federal government to probe the attack as it included four members who had derailed the case. “Why did the federal government intervene if Punjab interim government had formed a JIT already”, she questioned.

Dr Yasmin Rashid said that a petition will be filed against the new JIT on Monday.
