HAFIZABAD-A close relative of State Minister Saira Afzal Tarar has called on the Punjab Chief Minister and the Prime Minister to stop the minister and her father Afzal Hussain Tarar for attempting to grab her 56 acres inherited land.
Addressing a press conference at her residence in Kolo Tarar on Monday, Salwat Sikandar Tarar alleged that due to political differences with Afzal Tarar, he had got transferred her inherited land measuring 56 acres into the name of a relative Mumtaz Tarar in 2008 with the connivance of Patwaris and Tehsildar.
However, she got a stay order from the court and during 2016 local government elections Mumtaz Tarar promised to restore ownership of her land, she informed.
Salwat Sikandar Tarar is the great granddaughter of Khan Bahadur Ata Ullah Khan Tarar, the first Muslim member from the undivided Punjab in the Viceroy Council of India, granddaughter of late MLA/MNA Mian Saifullah Tarar and cousin of Mamoon Jafar Tarar, who defeated Mian Afzal Hussain Tarar in the recent election for the slot of chairman Union Council Kolo Tarar.
She said that Afzal Tarar and his armed guards attempted to occupy her land and when she and other women staged a protest against his attitude, he and his gunmen allegedly thrashed them. She said that she has submitted application to the SHO and other officers but they have lent deaf ear to her request. She alleged that both father and her daughter are tarnishing the image of the Punjab CM and the PM and called on them to provide her justice.
