AJK elections: Gujranwala police arrest PML-N leader Ataullah Tarar

"PML-N leaders, workers cannot be intimidated by fascism," said Aurangzeb. She demanded that Tarar and other party workers arrested be released immediately.

"The arrest of Ataullah Tarar is a proof of the Imran government's great confusion," she said.

Ms Aurangzeb claimed that PML-N workers were arrested in Ali Pur Chatha "for putting up a resistance against vote thieves".

گوجرانوالہ کے علاقے علی پور چٹھہ میں گرفتار کارکنوں کی رہائی کے لئے جانے والے عطاءتارڑ کو بھی گرفتار کیاگیا۔ فسطائیت کے ہتھکنڈوں سے مسلم لیگ (ن) کے رہنماوں اور کارکنوں کو خوفزدہ نہیں کیاجاسکتا ۔ عطاءاللہ تارڑ اور دیگر گرفتار پارٹی کارکنان کو فی الفور رہا کیاجائے ۔

The PML-N spokesperson told local media that Tarar had been protesting since evening against the arrest of fellow party workers.

Earlier, police had said that a case has been registered against Ataullah Tarar at the Ali Pur Chatha police station "for protesting".

The arrested party workers have been charged with "attacking police stations, tearing uniforms of police personnel and making threats".
