He shared the details during a press conference held a at his office flanked by RPO Faisalabad Dr Abid Khan, CPO Faisalabad Usman Akram Gondal and RPO Sargodha Shariq Kamal Siddique, DPO Sargodha Faisal Gulzar. Dr. Usman Anwar started the presser hurling a copy of a news item regarding mistreatment of Christian women in Manipur area of India. He also shared another news item of a resolution by European Union against injustices, violent incidents against Muslim and other minorities in India. He asserted that the hostil agencies hatched a well thought out coordinated conspiracy to divert the attention from their country towards Pakistan. Dr. Usman Anwar said that police during their investigations have found that both suspects arrested in Sargodha blasphemy case had links with the hostile agencies. They had found the evidences after their arrest from their mobile phones. He added that the suspects after committing the horrible offence of blasphemy had challenged the community to avenge it and nab them. He also shared a note by the suspects .IG Punjab said that police made a hectic effort to trace the suspects. Police officers engaged the community as well religious scholars to maintain peace. First of all they searched and pointed out places where Mulsim’s religious books were published followed by where these were sold. Police collected the videos of the people who had visited both the places. This involved a tedious job. The investigation officers pointed out the suspects and finally arrested them, he added. He revealed a role of 2500 policemen deployed in civies in pinpointing the accused persons. Dr. Usman Anwar said that RPO Sargodha Shariq Kamal Siddique himself investigated the suspects and found traces of their contacts with hostile agencies. He continued that police have arrested 180 suspects involved in Jaranwala incident including three prime characters. Using geo fencing, CCTV monitoring, polygraphic test, artificial intelligence, human intelligence and other scientific techniques. He appreciated the role of police, Aman Committee members and community members in controlling the situation and restoring peace. He added that the government had not helped financially the victim community members but had also started the rehabilitation work. He also said that Muslims in Jaranwala incidents offered their houses for protection to community members. He also said that an incident of an individual is not tantamount to the whole community/nation. A blast by a Muslim does not mean the involvement of the whole community in the act, he added. Dr. Usman Anwar further said that Muslims can never tolerate disrespect to Holy Prophet PBUH, Holy Quran and religious places but Islam also does not allow taking law into hands and attacking minority community members. He stressed for not being trapped by the enemy’s conspiracy. He said that in war the enemy’s plans should be thwarted strategically. He said that it is our responsibility not to react and play into the hands of the enemy. He asked to become complainant rather than suspects. IG Punjab resolved that such incidents will not happen again as police established Meesaq Centres across the province to deal swiftly and amicably any such incident reported across the province. Dr. Usman Anwar expressed his resolve to bring the suspects involved in both Sargodha and Jaranwala incident to justice with the help of prosecution.
