"They have inflicted significant harm on their own nation. The arrest of a leader does not justify launching an assault on the country. It was a conspiracy to pit the people and the army against each other. These malefactors should be strongly condemned and strictly dealt with," the public expressed.
"Those who spread violence on May 9 are worse than enemies; they didn't spare even hospitals. We strongly condemn this incident. PTI supporters have revealed their true face to the public on May 9. A complete boycott of those responsible for the May 9 incident is necessary," they added.
