Senior leader of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Rana Sanaullah said on Friday that a judicial commission should be constituted to investigate the case filed against him by the Anti-Narcotics Force (ANF) last year.
Rana Sanaullah while speaking at the floor of the Lower House for the first time since his release on bail last December described the case in details, saying he wanted the case to become a part of the assembly record. I left my home at 1:10pm to attend a party meeting in Lahore when the ANF arrested me. From the time I was taken into custody till 10am the next morning, no one spoke to me,, Sanuallah said.
There were cameras installed in that police station and you can ask for the record if I was ever interrogated by the agency,, he added.
The PML-N leader continued, ,As you promised me that my request will be forwarded to Prime Minister Imran Khan, I demand the formation of a cabinet committee to probe this case. If that is not possible, a judicial commission should be formed for the inquiry. I am saying this because no investigation was ever done.,
Sanaullah further asked the National Assembly speaker to play the aforementioned video in the house for its members to see.
Holding the Holy Quran in his hands, Sanaullah vowed that he was speaking the truth, urging the powers that be to look into the case ,or else they will invite God’s wrath,. Do I not have the right to tell my side of the story? Why should I stay silent?, he said.
Before concluding his speech, Sanaullah warned that the practice of creating fake cases, if not discontinued, could come back to haunt others as well. He also recalled how ,60 years ago a case of cattle theft against Chaudhry Zahoor Elahi had become a stain, for the late politician.
‘Won’t allow case against me to proceed till video proof presented’
The PML-N leader had earlier said he would not allow the drug case against him to proceed until the alleged video against him was presented.
