President Arif Alvi has said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan should openly condemn the May 9 violent protests that broke out across the country.

In an interview with Hamid Mir aired on Geo News, the president called for a probe into the violence.

“The people involved should be punished in line with the law,” he said, emphasizing that taking action should not mean that the suspects are tortured.
