LAHORE:The Parvez Elahi government has quashed the cases registered against PTI leaders and workers for clashing with police on May 25.

Provincial Home Minister retired Col Hashim Dogar told the media here on Wednesday that 14 cases had been registered against PTI leaders and workers in Lahore. He claimed the police found evidence that all the cases were filed on false and political grounds.

He said inquiries against the police officers involved in the torture of PTI workers on May 25, when the party was holding a long march on Islamabad, would be completed as Chief Minister Parvez Elahi and his cabinet were unanimous on the issue.
