KARACHI: An anti-corruption court in Karachi on Thursday issued non-bailable arrest warrants for former prime minister Yousuf Raza Gilani and senior Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Makhdoom Amin Faheem, DawnNews reported.

The warrants against the two were issued in a case relating to financial irregularities in the Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP).

Subsequently, the court adjourned the hearing to June 17.
