Lahore: Secretary General Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan, Liaqat Baloch has demanded of Chief Minister Punjab and IG Punjab to bring the culprits to justice behind the killing of Ovais Aqeel, an activist of Islami Jamiat Talaba (IJT).

He expressed his views while talking to IJT delegation led by its Nazim-e-Ala Zubair Safdar here at Mansoora on Wednesday.
