MNAs and MPAs accompanied Tareen during his appearance in Lahore s banking court
LAHORE:
Lawmakers supporting estranged Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Jahangir Tareen on Saturday warned the federal government of ‘moving forward’ if justice was not delivered in the ongoing sugar scandal cases.
Tareen along with son Ali Tareen, PTI’s MNAs and MPAs reached Lahore banking court to attend their bail proceedings which later the court extended to May 3.
Speaking to the media MPA Raja Riaz said that they appeal to the prime minister for justice under the umbrella of PTI. We believe that Tareen is being humiliated through such moves, he added.

• Ruling party’s 30 lawmakers accompany him to judicial complex
LAHORE: Ruling Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf’s estranged leader Jahangir Khan Tareen on Saturday questioned the impartiality of a Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) team and called for a transparent inquiry into the allegations of fraud and money laundering against him.
“Form a fair and noncontroversial investigation team, which could meet the requirements of justice and doesn’t follow instructions [given to it] on telephone calls,” the PTI’s former secretary general demanded.
Talking to the media outside the judicial complex after appearing before two courts for pre-arrest bail proceedings in the FIRs pertaining to over Rs5 billion money laundering and fraud charges in the sugar scam, Mr Tareen said: “Hold whatever investigation and prosecution you want, but the [FIA] team dealing with the case is biased and not doing its work independently.”
