PML-N Punjab president Rana Sanaullah Khan has said that Rawalpindi Commissioner Liaquat Ali Chatha, who he described as a “friend”, has had mental health issues for “quite some time”.

“I think that in that regard there was some treatment underway,” Sanaullah said while speaking to Geo News.

He said that the punishment for rigging an election does not amount to a death sentence as stated by the commissioner.

“He says that he should be hanged at a chowk when there is no such law or provision of hanging people in Pakistan,” he said.
