Rana Sanaullah wants alleged video against him presented

LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Rana Sanaullah on Saturday said he would not allow the drug case against him to proceed until the alleged video against him is presented, the Geo News reported.

Speaking to reporters outside a special court, the former Punjab law minister said the government is being “exposed” over the case. “The government is being exposed because it is not allowing facts to come in front of the public," he said, adding that an open trial of the case should be conducted.

“Until and unless an open trial is held, we will not let the case proceed at all,” he said. Sanaullah also questioned where the alleged video was.

“If the video is present, it should be presented in court. This case will not move forward until the video is presented in the court.” Without naming State Minister for Narcotics Shehryar Afridi, Sanaullah said if the alleged video has also been shown to Prime Minister Imran Khan, why it is not being brought in front of the public. “We will not accept the charge sheet until the video is presented in court,” he asserted. The PML-N leader said the National Accountability Bureau has asked to submit all details of the case in the next two weeks.

Responding to a question about the Pakistan Army (Amendment Act), he said it is important to follow the parliamentary procedure and that there is no need to hurry when it comes to the bill.
