Tarar, a heart patient who has been detained by the police in District jail, has been on hunger strike for the last two days.

District president Amjad Javed said Mumtaz was a heart patient and not allowed to take meals according to his doctor’s prescription.

Meanwhile, an ailing former MNA, Hamza, was set at liberty from Dera Ghazi Khan jail.

Both were detained a few days ago during the crackdown.
