Additionally, Mazari, who previously served as the human rights minister, addressed the violence that unfolded on May 9 following the arrest of PTI Chairman Imran Khan. She unequivocally condemned the acts of violence and affirmed her commitment to the Islamabad High Court in this regard. Mazari stressed that her condemnation extends beyond the events of May 9 and 10, emphasizing her longstanding disapproval of violence targeting state institutions such as the GHQ, Parliament, and Supreme Court.
