ISLAMABAD: Leader of the Opposition in Senate Allama Raja Nasir Abbas has submitted a privilege motion in the Senate Secretariat against an officer of Islamabad Police and other relevant officials over “rude and discourteous” behaviour.
The motion, received by the Senate Secretariat on Tuesday, was submitted earlier on Monday.
In the privilege motion, Abbas stated that Sub-Inspector (SI) Naeemul Hassan, the Bharakahu Station House Officer (SHO), stopped him from travelling to his residence at a checkpoint.
He wrote that a large number of police personnel “approached my vehicle and, in a rude and discourteous manner, directed that I could not proceed further”.
Abbas added that he introduced himself and his purpose for moving onward, adding that his residence was located approximately 2km away from the checkpoint. “Despite this, the SHO neither paid heed to my explanation nor extended the courtesy due to a Member of Parliament. Instead, he continued to behave in an insulting and disrespectful manner,” he wrote.
“The conduct of SI Naeemul Hassan and the accompanying police personnel amounts to an obstruction in the discharge of my duties and a gross act of disrespect towards a member of the Senate. Such conduct constitutes a breach of the privileges of the House and its member,” Abbas stated.
The senator requested that the matter be referred to the Privileges Committee and that legal and disciplinary action be taken against the officer concerned.
