MUZAFFARGARH: The Anti-Corruption Department on Thursday handed over Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) MNA Moazzam Khan Jatoi, who had reportedly gone missing a day ago, to the Muzaffargarh police. Police said the anti-corruption police handed over Jatoi to Saddar police station after lodging a case against him at the anti-corruption department.
The PTI had claimed that the lawmaker was abducted by unknown people.
PTI Muzaffargarh Secretary General Mahar Javed Hasan had said MNA Jatoi had gone missing since he was abducted by unidentified persons from his residence in Multan on Wednesday.
Since the Supreme Court verdict pertaining to the reserved seats came in PTI’s favour, the former ruling party has blamed the government for a number of alleged suppressive and repressive measures to pressurise its members to change their allegiance.
Seeking the top court’s intervention to resolve the matter, PTI Chairman Gohar Ali Khan claimed last week that lawmakers of his party were being forced to switch their loyalties. He condemned the “abduction” of PTI leaders and their family members — including MNA Sahibzada Ameer Sultan, PTI media wing member Rizwan Malik, Mian Fayyaz Ahmad Chajra’s son Mian Tajamal Hussain and brother Mian Imtiaz Hussain and other social media activists.
