GUJRAT, May 23: Twenty-two union council Nazims belonging to the PPP have threatened that they would come on roads if the provincial government ordered arrest of Kharian tehsil Nazim Nadeem Asghar Kaira.

The Anti-Corruption Establishment had registered a case against him on the charge of ‘abuse of power.’ The ACE authorities have sealed the FIR at its Gujrat branch and took the relevant record to the Rawalpindi office.

They also sent the record to the Punjab chief minister’s office seeking approval for the arrest of Mr Kaira. The chief minister, who had gone to perform Umra, is expected to return on Saturday.

A PPP spokesman said the Nazims met with Mr Kaira the other day to express solidarity with him.
