PML-N lawmakers turn aggressive

By: Asif Chaudhry

LAHORE - It seems as if PML-N legislators have surpassed police in their rude behaviour, and interestingly enough, the police have become their victim. 
Following the foot prints of Minister Prisons Ch Abdul Ghafoor, who is notorious for taking fights with policemen, two more PML-N MPAs, Pir Ashraf Rasool and Ali Asghar Manda turned violent against police a few days back over some unknown issue, and a report was also registered against them with the Sharaqpur Police Station on Friday. 
It is to be noted that Abdul Ghafoor has a record of quarrelling with police officers, and now police are collecting record of previous complaints registered against him with different police stations following his recent misbehaviour with Custom officials at the Lahore Airport. 
It is worth mentioning that five reports had already been registered in various police stations of the City against Ch Abdul Ghafoor for threatening and misbehaving with the police. 
The complainant police officials in their reports alleged that the minister had misused his powers and treated the on-duty officers roughly. 
The report against Pir Ashraf and Asghar Manda has been registered for threatening the DPO Sheikhupura and misbehaving with him over a minor issue.
A police officer said that on May 18, Inspector General Police Punjab Tariq Saleem Dogar paid a surprise visit to the Sharaqpur Police Station, Sheikhupura where DPO, SP Investigation and two PML (N) MPAs Ashraf Rasool and Ali Asghar also reached.
