'Smuggling of humans a serious charge'
By Our Reporter
ISLAMABAD, Sept 3: PML-N Information Secretary Siddiqul Farooque says that revelations made by former interior minister Faisal Saleh Hayat, in an interview, about a human smuggling racket is a very serious charge-sheet against members of the government
and leadership of the ruling party.
He demanded formation of a parliamentary commission to probe the affair, and said it should present its report to the nation within three months. In a statement issued here on Friday, he recalled that the PML-N and other patriotic political parties had been constantly enlightening the people about corruption of the military government.
"We have been issuing fact-sheets from time to time to inform the public of the massive and unprecedented plunder of national assets by present rulers, and now an insider has confirmed it".
The PML-N leader said the former interior minister had clearly accused the political family of Gujrat and the Punjab government led by Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi of human smuggling through corrupt FIA officials, and thus earning millions from illegal transactions.
