    Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed on Wednesday announced that the government has decided to summon the Punjab Rangers to maintain the law and order situation in the province amid the ongoing protests staged by the proscribed banned organisation.

    Speaking during a press conference in Islamabad, the interior minister said that the government wants to establish peace as there is a lot of pressure on Pakistan.

    The minister said that since the ambassador of France is not present in Pakistan, the proscribed organisation seems to have "another agenda".

    "Yesterday, I had warned that foreign powers want to impose sanctions on Pakistan," Rasheed said. "The banned organisation has turned into a militant organisation as its members had opened fire on policemen using Kalashnikovs."
