On Saturday, an Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) issued a non-bailable arrest warrant for Marriyum Aurangzeb, a leader of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), in connection with a hate speech case. The incitement case, involving PML-N leaders Marriyum Aurangzeb, Javed Latif, and others, was heard by ATC Judge Abhar Gull.
While PML-N leader Javed Latif attended the court hearing and marked his attendance, Marriyum Aurangzeb was absent. Consequently, the court issued a non-bailable arrest warrant for her and revoked Javed Latif’s warrant. The court instructed Latif and other PML-N members to appear for the hearing on December 9 and adjourned further proceedings.
The case originated from a First Information Report (FIR) filed at the Green Town police station following a press conference by Javed Latif in Islamabad. The FIR was lodged based on a complaint from Imam Masjid Irshad-ul-Rehman, accusing Latif of intentionally inciting people against PTI chief by making false statements in collaboration with Marriyum Aurangzeb and others.
