ISLAMABAD: Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Narcotics Control Ataullah Tarar Saturday warned the PTI and Punjab government that “all of you” will be arrested if a single PML-N worker is sent behind bars.
Tarar alleged that the Punjab government — a coalition of the PML-Q and PTI — has booked PML-N workers and MPAs for taking revenge for the sedition case filed against PTI Chairman Imran Khan’s chief of staff, Shahbaz Gill.
The press briefing came after 12 PML-N leaders approached the Islamabad High Court (IHC), seeking protective bail in a case related to the ruckus in the Punjab Assembly a day after a district court issued their arrest warrants.
The PML-N leaders include Tarar, Rana Mashhood Ahmad Khan, Awais Leghari, Muhammad Mirza Javed, Malik Saif ul Malook Khokhar, Peer Khizer Hayat Shah Khagga, Raja Sagheer Ahmed, Mian Abdul Rauf, Pir Muhammad Ashraf Rasool, Bilal Farooq Tarar, and Rana Mannan Khan.
Meanwhile, Tarar said the actual case was against Chief Minister Punjab Pervez Elahi as he, his party, and other PTI leaders were involved in the attack on former deputy speaker Punjab Assembly Dost Mazari.
