Gandapur stated that adding his name to the FIRs is baseless. He urged the court to dismiss the cases against him.

Earlier in July, the PML-N-led Punjab government clamped a ban on the former federal minister’s entry into the province ahead of Punjab by-elections.

In a statement, the Punjab Home Minister Ata Tarar alleged that Ali Amin Gandapur and Maqbool Gujjar want to carry out violent activities in Punjab.

“In a bid to maintain law and order situation, the provincial government has decided to clamp ban on Ali Amin Gandapur and Maqbool Gujjar’s entry in Punjab,” he added.
