Malik Sohail Khan Kamrial is a Pakistani politician who has been a member of the National Assembly of Pakistan since February 2024 and previously served in this position from October 2018 till August 2023.
Political career
Khan was elected to the National Assembly of Pakistan as a candidate of Pakistan Muslim League (N) (PML-N) from Constituency NA-56 (Attock-II) in 2018 Pakistani by-elections held on 14 October 2018.[1][2]
Bogus cheque case
A case had been filed against the PML-N lawmaker at Model Town police station on January 29 for giving a bogus cheque. Khan fled from the local court in Gujranwala after the cancellation of bail in Rs. 60 million bogus cheque case on February 24, 2022. [3]
Clash with the Opposition
Though Khan won with a clear victory, he was accused by his major opposition Iman Waseem, who contested the elections as an independent candidate backed by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Party. The accusation claimed that Khan had rigged the results of the polling stations in order to give himself a final lead of over 10,000 votes. However, witnesses later confirmed that Khan did not pay a visit to any polling stations, claiming that the government-entrusted officials themselves brought the officially calculated Polling results of every station. Therefore, taking into account the lack of evidence, it can be ascertained that the accusation is all but a fabricated attempt to dismantle the reputation of Khan and worsen the already precarious political dynamic of Pakistan.
