Objection to signatures: PML-N MPAs submit affidavits to PA

LAHORE: The Pakistan Muslim League-N MPAs submitted their affidavits to the Punjab Assembly Deputy Speaker against objections to their signatures being fake on declaration for Hamza Shahbaz’s Punjab Assembly Opposition Leadership.

Punjab Assembly Speaker Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi had objected that some of the signatures on document of the declaration of confidence by the PML-N members were forged and were not done by the original incumbents.

However, the PML-N leaders, including MPA Khawaja Imran Nazir and Mian Marghoob called on the PA deputy speaker along with the MPAs whose signatures were deemed suspicious by the speaker. MPA Naveed Aslam Lodhi and MPA Muhammad Arshad submitted their affidavits to the deputy speaker assuring that their signatures were not forged.

Speaking to the media after meeting the deputy speaker, Imran Nazir said that the PA speaker and the Punjab government should realise that it was a strong opposition of 164 members and they cannot bulldoze their mandate with such steps.

He criticised the PTI government and said that the Pakpattan DPO issue would have been resolved overnight had it been Shahbaz Sharif’s era. Meanwhile, Hamza Shahbaz in a statement said that PTI’s tall claim had already fallen flat on their face after their ministers had blown to smithereens the austerity principle while the claim for depoliticising of police had hit a new low where DPOs were being victimised for political reasons. He said that those who chanted slogans of change had been exposed through their selection of their cabinets in Punjab and Centre. He said that the PML-N would emerge victorious in the by-elections.

PML-Q: PML-Q Lahore senior vice president Zeba Ehsan has said the government had started building Naya Pakistan right after the cabinet took oath.

Addressing a gathering of workers in constituency NA-131, she said the government has started taking decisive steps to solve people’s problems of all provinces. She said PML-Q had always focused on real issues of the people and the initiatives like 1122, PIC, Agricultural policies and other key interventions are still the most pivotal public welfare projects.

She said PML-Q and PTI government will resolve governance and economic crisis in the country.
