Islamabad, August 19, 2022 (PPI-OT):Federal Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Murtaza Javed Abbasi has rejected the opposition’s impression that the PTI leader Shehbaz Gill has been subjected to torture during physical remand. Speaking in the Senate today amidst the pandemonium of PTI senators, he pointed out that there is no mention of torture in the medical report presented before the court. He said it was the PTI which used to victimize political opponents during its era.
