ACE registers two cases against Usman Buzdar for transfer of state land

LAHORE: As was ‘promised’, the Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) managed to get register at least two FIRs against former Punjab chief minister Sardar Usman Buzdar through the Anti-Corruption Establishment (ACE) Punjab on the charges of allegedly illegally transferring 900 kanals of state land in Dera Ghazi Khan.

The ACE Punjab has also booked former CM’s brothers in the case as well.

According to ACE officials, two cases have been registered against the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader which were filed on the inquiry report of the deputy commissioner of DG Khan.

As per sources, during the course of inquiry it was revealed that Usman Buzdar allegedly used a fake letter to transfer 900 kanals of state land in Tonsa.

One case against Buzdar and his bother dates back to 1982 and the other dates back to 1986 for alleged illegal mutation of state land in their favors.

Earlier, soon after taking reigns of the Punjab, PML-N leader and Punjab Home Minister Attaullah Tarar had said that the government had decided to move the Anti-Corruption Establishment against Usman Buzdar.

The PML-N leader claimed that the former CM Punjab had “ruthlessly plundered the resources of the country”. The home minister had also claimed that former prime minister Imran Khan played the role of a facilitator in Buzdar’s “corruption”, while the ex-chief minister’s front men also remained involved in “plundering the country’s resources”.

“Usman Buzdar will have to answer for his corruption,” Tarrar had roared a few weeks back.

Born in May 1969, in the tribal stretch of Dera Ghazi Khan in Punjab, Buzdar is the eldest of five brothers and sisters. While he received his early education from his family village, Barthi, he later enrolled at Multan’s Bahauddin Zakariya University for a masters in political science and then completed an LLB.

On the other hand, Usman Buzdar managed to get a protective bail from Bahawalpur Bench of Lahore High Court (LHC) on Monday.

Senior judge, Justice Shujat Ali Khan granted the protective bail to the former Punjab CM and scheduled his next appearing in the court on June 30.
