PML-N walking on a tightrope ahead of RCB polls
Party faces difficult choice in awarding tickets to contenders
RAWALPINDI:
The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), which swept the Rawalpindi Cantonment Board (RCB) election in 2015, is facing a hard-hitting situation in awarding tickets, due to factionalism, ahead of the September 12 polls.
Two current members of RCB have decided to contest polls as independents while maintaining ties with former Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar s group.
In the absence of former senator Chaudhry Tanveer Khan, who had played a crucial role in winning the previous RCB polls for the party, former MNA Malik Ibrahim has started consultations about awarding party tickets.
‘Operation violation of court order’
Senator Tanveer Khan’s son terms RDA’s action political revenge
ISLAMABAD:
The Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) on Wednesday demolished what it described as illegal constructions on the premises of the Wilayat Complex, which is owned by Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz Senator Chaudhry Tanveer Khan.
In an operation launched at 10am, the civic authority razed four marquees, a food court and a four-storey building constructed on a 20-Kanal thoroughfare, said an RDA official.
Soon after the action, Khan’s son Barrister Daniyal Chaudhry termed it an act of political revenge and a violation of a stay order which they had been obtained from the court. “It is a contempt of court,” said Daniyal, requesting the chief justice of Pakistan to take notice of the incident.
