I've read the JIT report.
The heart of the report are pages 26-29. Where they share their findings. Nobody is talking about what is written therein.
Any one can see how Punjab Government is actually responsible. But at what level? The way the report has been written, it is apparent that the responsibility will probably stop with DIG. Unless the telephone records are made available, not much can be said about politicians being directly involved. At this point JIT says nothing.
JIT also mentions a lot of matters that can not be concluded at this time. The part about implicating PM, CM, Hamza Shahbaz, Kh. Saad Rafiq, and Rana Sanaullah is an assertion of MuQ people, not something borne out by JIT findings. For that to happen, there needs to be more investigation with MuQ people joining the process.
The JIT gives the version of MuQ right at the beginning, which omits many details such as incitement of the crowd by TuQ, and from inside MuQ itslef. It also ignores the presence of armed guards, and their conduct. That 27 policemen were injured due to violence from MuQ, with 3 receiving bullet wounds is glossed over as well. There is also a crazy allegation that before launching of operation at night DIG threatened to kill TuQ's family at orders of Sharif brothers, while the evidence and record shows that DIG did not arrive at the scene before 8:45 the next morning.
The JIT clearly states that a total of ten fatalities had been investigated via post-mortem. 3 of those were due to 'positive angle' bullet wounds, which generally means bullet were fired from roofs (though it could also mean the person being bent when receiving the wound). 7 people died with straight firing, most probably by police.
The JIT claims that 98 people were injured, out of whom 27 were police personnel, 3 of whom were hit by bullets. The JIT says that in the lead up to the armed clash and indiscriminate firing a rumor has spread among police jawans that two of their numbers had been killed by people guarding MuQ entrance and that a small number of policemen had been abducted.
All the evidence points to local mis-handling, and not a conspiracy as is alleged. However, there needs to be a complete investigation, and that may take a few months at least. But Punjab Government can not absolve itself of some blame at least. In a mature democracy CM might have resigned until conclusion of investigations.
MuQ people are no angels. They are using dead bodies for politics. They had a hand in all that went down. PTI supporters are using JIT to support their leadership's demands without having any concrete idea about what is written in JIT.
The link below is from where I got the report. I would suggest to disregard the English opinion masala piece and skip to the JIT report in Urdu and read it.
