Senior PML-N leaders have vowed to foil attempts to create political instability and decided to expedite measures to restore law and order, overcome energy crisis, complete China-Pakistan Economic Corridor and other infrastructure projects.
Meanwhile, the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) has rejected Justice (r) Sarmad’s Jilani’s name, stating that they have already expressed reservation on his selection.
PTI chief Imran Khan stated that the ruling party has formed this commission to ‘acquit’ itself.
Last week, the Prime Minister Sharif left for the UK for a purported medical check-up amid chaotic political scenes by the opposition demanding his resignation after his daughter and two sons were mentioned in the Panama Papers as having secret offshore companies.
While Nawaz Sharif has denied money laundering allegations, opposition leaders have asked for an independent probe.
