KARACHI: The Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) on Tuesday levelled a series of allegations against the provincial government, accusing the chief minister and other senior government officials of being involved in illegal allotment of precious lands in Karachi and Hyderabad.

Speaking at a press conference at the Karachi Press Club, Imran Ismail, deputy secretary general of the PTI, urged the chief justice of Pakistan, army chief and director general of the Inter-Services Intelligence to take cognizance of ‘illegal allotments’ being made by the provincial government in the two largest cities of Sindh.

He said he had copies of the summaries sent to the chief minister, and other ‘important documents’ which he would submit when his party moved court on the issue.
