The former minister was elected to the National Assembly from Faisalabad and dodged arrest amid massive crackdown on Imran Khan-led party that ensued after the violent protests of May 9.
Scores of PTI leaders and workers have faced legal challenges in the wake of attacks on civil, and army installations.
May 9 riots were sparked in various parts across Pakistan after the PTI chief Imran Khan was held in graft case. Hundreds of PTI workers and senior leaders were also detained for their involvement in attacks.
