Concerned at return of the accused in Model Town case to power: PAT

Lahore, May 28, 2022 (PPI-OT):PAT Secretary General Khurram Nawaz Gandapur has said that dispensation of justice for the oppressed of Model Town tragedy and punishment to the killers is the responsibility of the judiciary. He said it is a matter of great concern that those involved in the tragedy have come to power. He said if the masterminds, and handlers evade justice, the weaker segments of society will lose their trust in the system of justice. He said that we have filed an appeal against the acquittal of Capt (r) Usman.

Khurram Nawaz Gandapur made these remarks while talking to the lawyer-leaders of Awami Lawyers Movement. Naeem-ud-Din Chaudhry Advocate and Jawwad Hamid, complainant in the Model Town case, were present on the occasion. PAT Secretary General said that the then IG Punjab Mushtaq Sukhera was brought from Balochistan to Lahore to preside over Model Town massacre.

Rana Abdul Jabbar oversaw the bloody operation and gave direction to the police. He said that bullets were rained on women, the elderly and the youth indiscriminately. He said that we have presented irrefutable evidence about the involvement of Mushtaq Sukhera in the court of law, adding that it is due to this evidence that the anti-terrorism court Lahore summoned Sukhera and Rana Abdul Jabbar as accused.

Khurram Nawaz Gandapur further said that the accused police officers got promotion during the previous government of Imran Khan and they are getting favourite postings and promotions even now. He said that the institution of police and civil administration has been destroyed as a result of the culture of rewarding the officials who do their masters’ bidding.

PML-N only knows how to run ATM, not EVM: Ch Parvez Elahi

Lahore, May 28, 2022 (PPI-OT):Former Member National Assembly Chaudhry Nazir Jutt and his daughter Ayesha Nazir Jutt called on Speaker Punjab Assembly Chaudhry Parvez Elahi at his residence here. Chairman Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce Overseas Pakistan Chaudhry Gulzar Muhammad and Dr. Sarfraz were also present on the occasion.

Ch Parvez Elahi said that Ch Nazir Jutt is working for the rights of overseas Pakistanis in Saudi Arabia with great enthusiasm. He said that PML-N only knows how to operate ATMs and not EVMs, therefore they do not accept elections on EVMs. Overseas Pakistanis have the right to vote, which is one of their basic rights. The bogus rulers do not understand that foreign exchange is sent by Pakistanis overseas which strengthens the Pakistani economy.

Ch Nazir Jutt said that Imran Khan’s Independence Long March had been successful even before, millions of people participated in it, PTI workers had reached D-Chowk on the direction of Imran Khan, meanwhile the police and the administration used batons and tear gas on the workers, which also injured my eye. He said that we have not backed down from the protest and we stand with Imran Khan.

ABBV SHAREHOLDER ALERT: ROSEN, TRUSTED AND TOP RANKED INVESTOR COUNSEL, Encourages AbbVie Inc. Investors with Losses to Secure Counsel Before Important June 6 Deadline in Securities Class Action – ABBV

NEW YORK, May 27, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of AbbVie Inc. (NYSE: ABBV) between April 30, 2021 and August 31, 2021, inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important June 6, 2022 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased AbbVie securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the AbbVie class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=5119 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than June 6, 2022. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) safety concerns about Xeljanz and Xeljanz XR extended to Rinvoq and other Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors; (2) as a result, it was likely that the FDA would require additional safety warnings for Rinvoq and would delay the approval of additional treatment indications for Rinvoq; and (3) therefore, defendants’ statements about AbbVie’s business, operations, and prospects lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the AbbVie class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=5119 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.
