KOHAT, May 5: Awami National Party’s provincial secretary general, Aurangzeb advocate, has refuted allegations that his younger brother was involved in selling party tickets to the candidates of provincial assembly.

He accused Federal Water and Power Minister Aftab Ahmed Khan Sherpao of buying votes of different political parties’ MPs in the Senate elections.

Addressing a press conference at Kohat Press Club the other day, Mr Aurangzeb challenged the expelled party MPA, Syed Qalb-i-Hassan, that if he proved the charges levelled against his brother, he will sacrifice his two minor sons.

He claimed that some agencies and the previous government were involved in buying loyalties of political parties’ members before election.
