LAHORE:
The Sharif family’s Jati Umra estate has set off a fresh verbal duel between the PTI government and its political arch-nemesis, the PML-N.
The two sides amped up rhetoric on Saturday as Federal Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry threatened to lodge a terrorism case against PML-N leader Rana Sanaullah, who called his bluff challenging him to carry out the threat.
Rana allegedly threatened Punjab’s top administrator over the cancellation of the Jati Umrah estate lease. Chief Minister Usman Buzdar, however, said his administration would not give in to any pressure.
