ISLAMABAD: Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Narcotics Control Ataullah Tarar Saturday warned the PTI and Punjab government that "all of you" will be arrested if a single PML-N worker is sent behind bars.
Tarar alleged that the Punjab government — a coalition of the PML-Q and PTI — has booked PML-N workers and MPAs for taking revenge for the sedition case filed against PTI Chairman Imran Khan's chief of staff, Shahbaz Gill.
The press briefing came after 12 PML-N leaders approached the Islamabad High Court (IHC), seeking protective bail in a case related to the ruckus in the Punjab Assembly a day after a district court issued their arrest warrants.
The PML-N leaders include Tarar, Rana Mashhood Ahmad Khan, Awais Leghari, Muhammad Mirza Javed, Malik Saif ul Malook Khokhar, Peer Khizer Hayat Shah Khagga, Raja Sagheer Ahmed, Mian Abdul Rauf, Pir Muhammad Ashraf Rasool, Bilal Farooq Tarar, and Rana Mannan Khan.
Meanwhile, Tarar said the actual case was against Chief Minister Punjab Pervez Elahi as he, his party, and other PTI leaders were involved in the attack on former deputy speaker Punjab Assembly Dost Mazari.
"The whole nation watched what happened to Dost Mazari. This was the actual case. But nothing happened to Pervez Elahi," the special assistant to PM said.
Tarar alleged Elahi was involved in the torture of the former deputy speaker. "They concocted fake cases against us," he said.
The special assistant to PM addressed PTI and the Punjab government, saying that they would have to pay for the "revenge politics" that they have resorted to and that their actions "will have repercussions".
"Pervez Elahi and his Punjab government are being controlled through remote control from Bani Gala. This is his old habit. For God's sake, stop this, the country has already borne much loss."
Tarar vowed that the PML-N would "face this fascist government head on" and not back down.
The rupee, which has been on an upward trend for more than a week now, continued strengthening against the dollar in the interbank market on Friday. By 10:05am, the local currency had gained Rs2.15 against the dollar to reach Rs224, up 0.95 per cent from yesterday’s close of Rs226.15. The rupee had been on a consistent decline from July 15 and fallen to a record low of 239.94 on July 28. But since July 29, it has reversed gears and its value had risen by Rs14.15 till yesterday (Aug 4). The biggest hike was seen on Wednesday (Aug 3), when the rupee appreciated by a record single-day gain of Rs9.59 or 4.19pc. This major gain by the rupee has brought exchange rate stability as currency dealers feel that the fluctuations would not be as volatile as were witnessed in July when the greenback gained over 13pc in a single month against the local currency.
