PML-N’s Attaullah Tarar hit back at a reporter who said that PTI voters were scared to say out loud that they had voted for a PTI candidate.

“No one can cure fear,” he said while talking to the media in Lahore. “They charged Rana Sanaullah in a heroin case but he didn’t run and cry.”

“Their voters are coming and no one is stopping them. Tell me where have they been stopped?” he asked.

“I have not seen such an issue here where anyone was stopped. I think there is freedom and ECP has made the arrangements very well,” Tarar added.
