LAHORE: PPP Punjab President Qamar Zaman Kaira has formed a two-member committee to probe an incident wherein a jiyala (party loyalist) was roughed up when he tried to get to the stage in violation of the security plan for the party leadership at an Iftar dinner here on Monday.

Nauman, a party worker from Lahore, had tried to climb the staircase leading to the Royal Palm Golf Club balcony from where Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari was to address the party cadre.

People deputed to ensure workers did not reach the stage allegedly ripped off Nauman`s clothes and subjected him to tonure.

Mr Kaira tasked senior party leader Naveed Chaudhry and Lahore chapter general secretary Israrul Haq Butt with probing the matter and sought a report at the earliest.-Staff Reporter
