He said that all available resources are being mobilized for protection of the life and property of the masses besides restoring peace in the province.

The transparent inquiry of the matter is being conducted.
To a query about alleged conduct of the Islamabad police with protesters, the Chief Minister responded by saying that the federal government has constituted special committee comprising three members of the caretaker federal ministers.
However, there was also some mistake of the protesters who attempted to move towards the red zone, on which the Islamabad police had to take action against them, he added.
However, the government is desirous of resolving the issue through mutual understanding, and for the purpose, the special committee has held several meetings with the protesters.
During the course of meetings, it had been decided to release around 200 arrested persons. Of them, 163 have already been released and remaining would be set free after necessary legal action soon, adding he mentioned.
The Chief Minister stressed that we have to move ahead for promotion of national unity by ending hatred.
The unity and harmony is need of the hour for a prosperous and developed Pakistan si we have to ensure it, he maintained.
