He stated that since the court had restored his client to his former position, Rashid Ahmad went to the office on December 17 in his capacity of being the Pemra chief. However, Ahmad received threats from some officers who were allegedly instigated by Rao Tehsin.
He alleged that Tehsin in connivance with the secretary information and the secretary establishment was creating problems in the implementation of the court’s order.
