Plea for treason case against Saad Rafique adjourned
LAHORE: An additional district and sessions court on Saturday adjourned the hearing of a petition seeking registration of a treason case against Railways Minister Khawaja Saad Rafique after the counsel of the minister submitted his power of attorney.
One Amna Malik, through advocate Azher Siddique, contended that a recent interview of Saad Rafique in which he had targeted a national institution amounted to treason and former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif, Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif, Interior Minister Ahsan Iqbal and Punjab Law minister Rana Sanaullah were also part of the conspiracy.
The petition said it was the duty of every citizen under Article 5 of the Constitution of Pakistan to be loyal to the state but statements of Khawaja Saad Rafique were in clear violation of the article.
