Flared up: Tarakai to sue PTI MNA

SWABI: Minister for Health Shahram Tarakai has decided to sue his own party’s MNA, Dawar Kundi, for criticising him at a meeting. This was stated in a press release issued on Wednesday. The statement quoted Tarakai as saying that Kundi levelled baseless allegations on him. “I’m a man of principle [who] has never done anything illegal in my ministry,” Tarakai was quoted as saying. “He [Kundi] attacked me… I will soon send a legal notice to the MNA.” Kundi is a Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf MNA from Tank. A couple of days back he called a meeting of five MNAs who declared revolt against CM Pervez Khattak. They expressed disappointment over the policies of Khattak. At the meeting Kundi criticised some ministers, including Tarakai.
