Political cases against PKI activists to be end

Punjab Minister for Law, Parliamentary Affairs and Social Welfare Raja Basharat has said that the cases filed against members of Pakistan Kissan Ittehad (PKI) during the PML-N era are political and efforts will be made to end all such fake cases.
He was addressing a meeting with a delegation of Pakistan Kissan Ittehad (PKI) under his chairmanship at Civil Secretariat here on Tuesday. Provincial Minister for Population Welfare Col (r) Hashim Dogar, DSPs Legal of Vehari, DG Khan and Kasur districts and other police officers were also present on the occasion.
The cases against members of the Kisan Ittehad were set up by the PML-N government in protest against Nawaz Sharif during 2018. Raja Basharat directed the three DSPs Legal to conduct case-to-case review and give their opinion so that all fake cases could be cancelled.
Col (r) Hashim said that the Sharif family owned Chunian sugar mills owed billions of rupees to the farmers. Many farmers died while waiting for their dues but they did not get compensation for sugarcane.
Raja Basharat assured that he would issue instructions to the concerned departments for payment of farmers’ arrears. The leaders of Kissan Ittehad expressed gratitude to both Raja Basharat and Colonel Hashim for their efforts and giving a kind hearing to resolve their issues.
