The commuting public, particularly women, children and old people, waiting at these check post in long queues was akin to being tortured, the senator said. He demanded that the concerns of the citizens of Swat must be addressed. Speaking on an issue of public importance, he said that that National Accountability Bureau (NAB) arrested a senior civil servant in Lahore allegedly for illegal land transfers. A day earlier, the NAB reopened a corruption reference against some retired army generals in a land transfer case that remained dormant for over a decade, he said. Senate Chairman Raza Rabban, however,r did not allow further discussion and asked the Senator that he may raise the issue through question in the Senate.
