Mazari Thursday said the Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf (PTI) government to introduce a new legal system within few days,according to which the accused in rape or sexual abuse cases would be prosecuted.

In a talk show programme of a private news channel, the minister said the law would be introduced after thorough debate on it, in the Parliament.
