Awami Muslim League (AML) chief Sheikh Rasheed Ahmad on Monday moved an application before the Lahore High Court (LHC) Rawalpindi bench against the sealing of Lal Haveli by the Evacuee Trust Property Board (ETPB). It was narrated in the application that the matter of Lal Haveli is already in a court of law so the sealing operation was "politically" motivated. Advocate Sardar Raziq Khan, on behalf of the AML chief, while submitting the plea urged the court to hold an urgent hearing which was accepted. The hearing will take place at 11am today.

Talking to reporters outside the Lal Haveli, the seasoned politician, who is currently supporting PTI Chairman Imran Khan, said the discrimination had been shown because he was supporting the PTI. He alleged that Deputy Adminsitrator ETPB Asif Khan was front man of interior minister Rana Sanaullah.

The Evacuee Trust Property Board (ETPB) sealed the Lal Haveli -- the residence of Awami Muslim League (AML) chief Sheikh Rashid Ahmed -- in the wee hours of Monday. According to initial reports, the ETPB staff along with Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) and police personnel reached the residence of Sheikh Rashid and sealed it.
