As the law-enforcement agencies (LEAs) are looking for those involved in incidents of violence on May 9, they have managed to get hold of yet another miscreant. On the other hand, parents of Muhammad Arsalan, who was involved in the vandalism and arson of military installations, have condemned what their son had done.  His father has said that he strongly condemns what had happened on that ill-fated day. “Youth are the country’s assets. They should not be allowed to fall victim to political parties’ vitriolic narrative, he has said, adding, “These politicians are the people who incited my son to violence through their hate speeches.” 

 He has said he would like to advise everyone to beware of such elements because they are not sympathetic to anyone. Arsalan’s mother, too, while expressing remorse over the incidents of May 9, has said that the entire family has been hurt. On the other hand, students and faculty members of Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto University of Law (SZABU) Karachi have visited the Jinnah House, and have strongly condemned its vandalism by miscreants. Expressing their views on the occasion, they have said that what had happened on May 9 was indeed very shocking.

 They have said they are at a loss to understand as to why these people ransacked and set national assets on fire. They have said it is tragic that portraits of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah were burnt. They have further said that those showing disrespect towards the martyrs of Pakistan Army and damaging their memorials can never be patriots. Members of the delegation have demanded the high-ups to give exemplary punishment not only to those who were involved in these incidents but also to those who had masterminded them.
