Addressing a rally in Faisalabad, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader and Federal Minister for Water and Power Abid Sher Ali’s father Chaudhry Sher Ali claimed Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah’s involvement in as many as 20 murders in Faisalabad.
Sher Ali claimed that he has a text message received from former Faisalabad CPO Dr Sohail Tajik that confirms Sanaullah’s involvement in the alleged assassinations. “The text message was also shown to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif who ordered Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif to investigate into the matter, however no action was taken against Rana Sana,” he said.
The veteran PML-N politician urged PM Sharif and Chief of the Army Staff (COAS) General Raheel Sharif to initiate a Karachi-like operation in Faisalabad “to put an end to Rana Sana’s activities”.
SANAULLAH RESPONDS:
Rejecting the allegations, Sanaullah told a private TV channel that Sher Ali has a habit of making such statements.
“I will not take any legal action against him. I will raise the issue within the party instead of making it an issue for the opponents to play on,” he said.
Moreover, Sanaullah said Sher Ali wanted to field his son as candidate of mayor-ship in Faisalabad and the allegations were part of a political campaign against him. “If I agree at candidature of Sher Ali’s son, everything will vanish suddenly,” he said.
