She stressed plan that destroyed enemies’ planes was orchestrated in Mianwali, adding rioters had clear plan where to go on that night.

She highlighted PTI-led protests were an attack on security installations, mentioning basic purpose of attack was to hit sensitive and important properties.

Turning to ‘facilitators’ of Imran Khan, she said they were equally to blame for riots occurred on May 9 because they supported PTI’s Chief from 2018 to 2022.
