Nawaz Sharif forbad Shahbaz Sharif from attending the in-camera briefing of the military command.

Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif asked Punjab Chief Minister Shabaz Sharif not to attend the in-camera joint session of parliament in which Chief of the Army Staff General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani would brief the political leadership about the US raid in Abbottabad. The PML-N chief had already excused Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani from attending the session.According to spokesman for the Punjab government Senator Pervez Rashid, Shabaz Sharif was invited as guest. He is not a member of the National Assembly so he cannot ask questions during the briefing, Rashid said, adding that his participation would serve no purpose.
