Chants of “Go Nawaz Go” by local villagers perturbed State Minister for Water and Power Abid Sher Ali who had to hurriedly leave after inaugurating a grid station in Jaranwala, Faisalabad.
Later, the locals surrounded Federal Parliamentary Secretary Talal Chaudhry and protested against the non-availability of water for their crops and injustices meted to them by the local landlords. Police and local administration officials made efforts to control the situation but the people continued to protest against the government.
The parliamentary secretary assured the protesters that their problems would be resolved and stern action would be taken against the culprits.
