Named and shamed PTI lawmakers 'should grab Imran Khan by the collar': Rana Sanaullah
Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah on Thursday claimed that Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has no evidence against the 20 party members whom he had publicly accused of participating in horse trading a day earlier, DawnNewsTV reported.
Khan had on Wednesday disclosed a list of 20 PTI lawmakers, who, he believes, sold their votes to rival parties in last month's Senate elections.
Sanaullah today stated that the PTI chief has no real evidence against the accused and urged them to confront their party leader.
"Imran Khan has left these 20 people with no option," the PML-N minister told DawnNewsTV. "He does not even have any evidence against them, and this step has hurt their party."
"These 20 people need to now grab Imran Khan by the collar," he suggested.
Over the past month, Prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi had frequently accused his rivals of buying the Senate elections, vowing to even expose the names of those who sold their votes.
Sanaullah, however, appeared to be distancing himself from the PM's stance on the subject, saying: "Our party has no evidence against those who sold their votes. If we find any such evidence then we will take action."
Meanwhile, Khan today claimed to also possess "a list of lawmakers from other parties who partook in horse trading", warning to expose them as well "if their parties do not do so themselves".
He also claimed to have been offered Rs45 million in exchange for the right to make a senator.

Who is this guy?
The result of Senate elections clearly prove highly lopsided results. That itself is enough proof. Besides those, who collected money, are all hiding their income beyond their declared means and assets. Therefore, they are all liable to be tasked under Article 63-1 (f) of the constitution.
Sanaullah always says the right thing
Look who’s talking!
Such a stupid person to see and listen. He don't understand anything no logic, sensibility, moral values. He dont has courage to appreciate enemies even.
And the whole of pakistan should grab your collar.
Wonder how long this fellow would stay in politics? What are his contributions towards well being of people in Pakistan?
Does PMLN has guts to do the same?
As a matter of reasonable fact, Imran has defamed the PTI people named. He must defend his allegations in court and those named have every right to seek legal recourse.
The typical low level mindset of our people. Grab the collar. Why? Why can't they talk it over. Physical violence is condoned by the people in power.
