Lahore, (Pakistan Point News - 23rd Feb, 2018) : Opposition members on Friday staged a symbolic walkout in the Punjab Assembly, asking why former Director General (DG) of Lahore Development Authority (LDA) Ahad Cheema, accused of corruption in Ashiana Housing Scheme scandal, was given promotion. Cheema was arrested by National Accountability Bureau (NAB) from the MM Alam Road in Lahore over corruption allegations regarding taking 32 kanal land as a bribe. He had not appeared before the NAB despite several summons. On the other hand, DMG workers closed their offices on the directives of Additional Chief Sectretary Umar Rasool in protest against the detention of Ahad Cheema. During the meeting with Chief Minister of Punjab Shehbaz Sharif, the officers demanded to release Cheema, saying that if the arrest is necessary then he should be nabbed in proper way.
