ISLAMABAD, Jan 11 (TNS): Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan said on Thursday that the people have stopped trusting the government and police, adding that when trust on the institutions ends then people take to streets to protest.

Talking to media at his residence Bani gala in Islamabad, PTI Chief said that Kasur incident has jolted the whole society like APS incident. He said that parents of victim do not eye on Punjab Government to provide them justice, they have asked chief justice and chief of army staff to for it.

“The parents of the seven-year-old Zainab are also demanding justice from the army chief and chief justice, not the Punjab police and provincial government. The police which is supposed to protect people is busy protecting one family,” said Imran.

Imran said that the Sharif brothers have been ruling Punjab since 19 years. “Look at the state of police today, we are bringing reforms for the police, but they only changed the uniforms of the force as if that helps with their performance,” said the PTI chief.
