Alleging that the PTI had asked the health department to suspend the Daska by-elections on the pretext of coronavirus, he said: “We are peaceful people, but this time we will not allow the PTI to bully our workers.

He said that Daska is a stronghold of the PML-N and the party's candidate will easily win the seat.

To a question, he said that Jahangir Tareen got his bail and he might become a ‘hostile witness’ against [Prime Minister] Imran Khan now.

Tarar alleged that the prime minister was responsible for exporting sugar and demanded the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) include his name in the sugar scandal as the co-accused.
