Police raid Tarar’s home in Lahore

LAHORE: Responding to a police raid on his house in Lahore, Special Assistant to Prime Minister (SAPM) Ataullah Tarar said on Saturday he did not think Punjab Home Minister Hashim Dogar was "such a non-serious person".

In a tweet, Tarar wondered what Dogar wanted to achieve by sending police to his home where he hadn't lived in over 15 years.

He went on to add that when a minister would stoop so low how he would run a ministry. “Don’t go too far while defending the anti-state narrative,” he added.

Police raided Tarar's home early Saturday morning. But he was not present at home at that time.

In a statement, the police clarified they have not arrested anyone from Tarar's house. The police said they have sent him a notice to come to the police station in connection with an investigation.
