BAHAWALPUR, Oct 11: Federal Parliamentary Secretary for Science and Technology Makhdoom Ali Hassan Gillani has said he will raise the issue of registration of a criminal case against him in the National Assembly.
The Ahmedpur East city police on Oct 6 registered a case against Mr Gillani and his 60 men on the charges of ransacking the office of tehsil nazim Syed Samiul Hassan Gillani and attempting to kidnap Sami’s supporter Nadeem.
In a telephonic talk from Islamabad on Tuesday, the MNA alleged that he was victimized for his support to the Sadiq Dost group — the rival of the PML-supported Bahawalpur Ittehad — in the local election. Implicated in the case, he said, he would take up the issue to the National Assembly as he was an elected representative.
