GUJRAT: The son of a PTI MPA and parliamentary secretary Raja Yawar Kamal on Friday drew criticism for roughly using his father’s official car in the ground of a private college near Jhelum.

Hailing from Jhelum’s Sohawa tehsil, Raja Azmat Kamal took the Punjab government’s car having blue revolving light to the sports gala of his college where he rashly drove it and carried out stunts while having fun with friends.

The antics were captured in the mobile phones by some fellow students who put up the videos on the social media.

Mr Kamal later deplored the incident of misuse of his official vehicle by his son and said it was an utterly embarrassing incident for him for which he did not have any justification. He said he would make sure that his son would not get this car for any use in future.
