MUZAFFARGARH: Ruling Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) MPA Khurram Sohail Leghari threatened Jatoi tehsil assistant commissioner during a telephone call, daring him to have a physical fight with him if he wants so.
The ugly incident took place on Sunday when MPA Leghari contacted the Jatoi AC Mohammad Arshad Virk and told him that he wanted to visit Ramazan Bazaar.
However, according to sources, during the call the battery of his (Mr Virk’s) mobile phone got depleted and his phone was powered off.
The sources said the AC, after a while, contacted the MPA and told him that because of the battery problem his phone went dead. But Mr Leghari got annoyed and lashed out at Mr virk, saying he (the MPA) was a member of the price control committee and received complaints about shortage of food items at Ramazan bazaars.
