PTI Leader Salman Akram Raja Granted Protective Bail: FIRs Being Used As Political Tools

Peshawar (Daily Pakistan Online) Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Salman Akram Raja has expressed concerns that individuals arrested on November 26 are being implicated in cases dating back to May 9. Speaking to the media at the Peshawar High Court, Raja emphasized the need to uphold the supremacy of law and the constitution. He stressed that the purpose of filing First Information Reports (FIRs) should not be driven by political motivations.
