April 28, 2021
Prime Minister Imran Khan on Tuesday met with a group of 33 PTI lawmakers who have rallied around disgruntled party leader Jahangir Tareen and assured them of an unbiased inquiry into the sugar scandal.
“I assure you that justice will be served,” the prime minister told the group of lawmakers, asking them to have trust in him as there would be no injustice with anyone.
During the meeting, the lawmakers reportedly demanded that Shehzad Akbar be removed from his position a fresh team be constituted to hold inquiry in the case. Hinting at personal vendetta, the lawmakers reportedly stated that Shehzad Akbar was targeting Tareen and was making up false cases against him. “I am satisfied with the performance of Shahzad Akbar,” the prime minister replied, and asked the lawmakers to bring evidence against Shahzad Akbar if they have any.
