QUETTA: The Supreme Court of Pakistan has been urged to take notice of alleged corruption in government departments and set up a judicial commission hea­ded by a senior judge of the apex court or the Balochistan High Court to investigate allegations in this regard.

The demand was made by representatives of government contractors, Muham­mad Tariq Raisani, Zafar Qambrani, Anwar Mando­khel and Abdul Manan Kakar during a press conference on Tuesday.

Sticking to allegations against ministers and members of the provincial assembly, the representatives adm­i­tted publishing an advertisement in this regard, while expressing their willingness to appear before any forum, including the Privilege Com­mittee of the Balochistan Assembly, to prove them.
