Shabnam also thanked the people of Pakistan who took stand against Farooq Bandial.

DHAKA (Dunya News) - Actress Shabnam, the poster girl of Lollywood in the 1970s, appreciated Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan for expelling Farooq Bandial from his party, reported Dunya News.

In her tweet on Thursday night, Shabnam said: “I appreciate Imran Khan on expelling Farooq Bandyal from his party.” She also thanked the people of Pakistan who took stand against rapist.

Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf chief Imran Khan on Thursday expelled Farooq Bandiyal after decision to grant him party’s ticket backfired. Khan said, “There is no place for convicted criminal in the party”.

Farooq Bandial, who hails from Punjab’s Khushab district, was handed a death sentence by a Special Military Court in 1979 for committing “armed dacoity” and “gang-rape” of the actress at her house in Gulberg area of Lahore.

The death sentences handed over to Bandial and his accomplices were later pardoned by General Ziaul Haq after the accused pressured Shabnam and her family into pardoning them.
