Yellow journalism and control of establishment on media is so obvious in Pakistan that none of the main stream media reporting these startling findings of JIT.
It will be sad day for Punjab if Shahbaz Sahrif has to resign. His legacy of serving Punjab will always remain in our hearts. We thank him for giving us a 6 year tenure of progress and public service.
If you challenge state writ, state will hit back. Otherwise why did the state made aerial bombardment on a bazar in Miran shah.
TUQ should immediately be arrested as per the findings of JIT report which clearly indicates at least 3 people were killed from bullet fired from Minhaj goons fire arms.
Shame on people who are demanding Shahbaz Sharif’s resignation on the basis of this 32 page JIT report but very conveniently ignore the most startling revelations of the same report..
JIT unveils ‘eye-raising facts’
Model Town tragedy

ISLAMABAD: The Joint Interrogation Team (JIT) constituted to probe the killings into Model Town incident, besides other facts, has also narrated some eye-raising facts. **It says that among the 10 dead, at least three received bullets from an elevated position and according to video footage and police statements, Minhajul Quran people were occupying the rooftops.
The JIT has also documented that armed personnel of Minhajul Quran were spotted on the rooftops in the footage obtained. However, the doctors who conducted the postmortem have told the JIT that the three deceased who received bullets from positive angle ‘might’ have been sitting and in such a position that it made positive angle or the bullet ‘might’ have altered its angle to positive after hitting a bone. However, the JIT does not discuss this narration beyond this. The JIT has also narrated that the Punjab Forensic Science Laboratory (PFSL) had also confirmed that the bullet shells received from the crime scene were fired from the arms recovered from Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) workers.**
On 16-07-2014, the JIT interrogated Rana Abdul Jabbar, SSP Operations, Suleiman Ali Khan, SP Security, Muhammad Bota and Sajid Ali, drivers, Dr Zahid Manzoor, Dr Shazia Manzoor, Dr Iftikhar, Dr Zahid and Dr Ghulam Ghazi of Jinnah Hospital, Lahore. These had conducted the postmortem of the dead bodies. The JIT thoroughly went through the postmortem reports, in the presence of the doctors. At least three of the deceased received gun fire from positive angle. The doctors told the JIT that the bullet might change its course to positive angle after hitting a bone or the deceased might have been at such an angle that the bullet hit them at positive angle, the report says. Seven deceased received straight gun fire.
**The report further reveals that two Kalashnikovs, three 30-bore pistols and twenty-six shells fired from Kalashnikov, twenty shells fired from 30-bore pistol were recovered from one Altaf Shah, Sheikh Zahid Fayaz, Khurram Nawaz Gandapur, Mian Zahid Islam, Sajid Mahmood Bhatti, Tanvir Sindhu and eight to nine others. Punjab Forensic Science Laboratory has verified that the shells were fired from the recovered weapons while six shells were fired from small machine gun which needs to be compared. **The JIT has mentioned that Idara Minhajul Quran and the heirs if deceased did not cooperate with the JIT therefore it would be not fair to conclude anything regarding this fact. Interestingly, the JIT has also mentioned that the police was trying to cover up the case before it as the CCPO, in a written statement to JIT, said that 29 rounds were fired by the Elite Force while 6 rounds were fired by district police. However, it is just a cover up figure as independent sources confirmed hundreds of rounds were fired by police. “Many questions are being raised on submission of incomplete record”, the JIT says.
