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.
