Does anyone know if the PML N has taken any action against MPA Munawar Ali Gill over this rape case?
Certainly in another scandal case the Chief Minister has pardoned a minister and blamed the media instead.
Shahbaz pardons minister, blames media
LAHORE: Chief Minister Mian Shahbaz Sharif has pardoned Minister for Prisons Chaudhry Abdul Ghafoor, saying that public representatives and office-bearers need to be more cautious and careful than any ordinary citizens.
According to a handout issued on Sunday, in a letter written to Minister Ghafoor, the CM, referring to the untoward incident that took place at the Allama Iqbal International Airport, Lahore, on May 19 2009, claimed that the government was committed to upholding the law and for that reason, it had appointed an independent tribunal to inquire into the matter.
Shahbaz said that contrary to the allegations, the tribunal had found the reported matter was not completely true and suggested that the media blew the incident out of proportions. He regretted that the conduct of a provincial minister was publicly suspected and categorized as inappropriate. He said that such conduct should not have been exhibited in the first place. “It is needless to emphasise that the public representatives and incumbents of public offices, need to be more cautious and careful than any ordinary citizen.”
The chief minister hoped that in future, besides making meaningful contribution to the affairs of the government, the minister would do his best to uphold the principles of rule of law, exemplary public behaviour and proper social conduct — values most cherished by any civilized and law abiding society.
