It's the constituency of Punjab CM Usman Buzdar

Relatives of the rape survivor staged a demonstration in Taunsa Sharif. They demanded Punjab Chief Minister Usman Buzdar help them get justice.
CM Buzdar himself hails from Taunsa Sharif. He was elected to the Punjab Assembly from PP-286 Dera Ghazi Khan-II constituency.
This is the second such incident in Punjab in less than a week. Another woman was gang-raped in front of her children by two unidentified men off the Sialkot-Lahore motorway early Wednesday.
She was driving to Gujranwala when she ran out of fuel near Lahore’s Gujjarpura. The incident has provoked a public uproar.
