Inspector General of Police (IGP) Punjab Dr. Usman Anwar has said that the greatest challenge facing Punjab Police today is the anti-national activities of the fitna al-Khawarij. He expressed these views while addressing the officers and personnel currently undergoing training at the Police Training College Chung, here on Thursday. The IG Punjab said that the fitna al-Khawarij are not only enemies of Islam but also of the country’s constitution, the education and development of girls, and the fields of science and technology. He emphasized that the brave officers of Punjab Police, particularly those posted at inter-provincial border checkpoints in Dera Ghazi Khan, Mianwali, and other locations, are standing firm in combating the attacks by the fitna al-Khawarij. He declared that every soldier of Punjab Police is fully prepared and committed to defeating the fitna al-Khawarij, who are bent on halting the national progress of Pakistan. Dr. Usman Anwar expressed that the fitna al-Khawarij cannot stop women from gaining empowerment or prevent them from joining the national mainstream. He stressed that education and development are not only the basic rights but also the heritage of every daughter of the nation. The IG Punjab also made it clear that criminals, robbers, thieves, and anti-social elements are the primary targets of Punjab Police, and they will be dealt with severely and brought to justice.
