The PTI also asked the government to ensure fool proof security for honorable judges.

It further said that the investigation proceedings would also be a test for the Chief Minister Punjab Shahbaz Sharif’s Safe City Program. It said that responsibility lies on all stake holders to ensure a safe environment for state institutions to perform their duties effectively.

It is worth mentioning here that unknown gunmen opened fire at the residence of Justice Ijazul Ahsan located in Lahore’s Model Town at around 10:45 pm on Saturday and then again at 9:10 am on Sunday. However, luckily firing didn’t cause any casualty.
