MIANWALI, Oct 10: Federal Parliamentary Affairs Minister Dr Sher Afgan Khan has urged President Pervez Musharraf to sack two ‘corrupt’ provincial ministers of Mianwali district who used unfair means during the local elections.

This he claimed during a hurriedly-called press conference here on Monday.

He claimed that provincial revenue minister Gul Hameed Khan Rokhari and provincial mines and minerals minister Sibtain Khan had used the government machinery and resources in the elections, but in spite of this the people rejected them.

Dr Afgan alleged that Gul Hameed Rokhari was elected farmer/peasant member for the district council in 1979. He claimed that the revenue minister had no more than 40 kanals of land. But in 1971, he got transferred his 9,400 kanals of land in the names of his daughters not being born then.

The federal minister demanded that a judicial inquiry into the scam should be ordered against Gul Hameed Rokhari.

He further alleged that the revenue minister had forced the Punjab chief minister to lend him support for the election of his son Huamir Hayat Rokhari as district nazim.

Justifying his claim, he said DCO Farooq Ahmed Chaudhry and DPO Aslam Ghauri were transferred because they were running the election campaign for the Rokharis.

About his future strategy, Dr Afgan assured that all his nazims would keep their doors open for the general public.
