SIALKOT – PTI leader Usman Dar’s mother has appealed to Chief Justice of Pakistan Umar Ata Bandial to take action against the mistreatment meted out to her and other family members during an action to seal their house and property in Sialkot.

In a recent action, authorities sealed the house, factory and other properties of Usman Dar in light of court orders, reports said, adding that a copy of the court order was also pasted outside his house.
