Punjab CM's 'judicial martial law' against constitution: Awan
Awan says the PPP's coalition government has been tolerating severe criticism.
Awan said the Pakistan Peoples Party’s (PPP) coalition government has been tolerating severe criticism.
Federal Law Minister Babar Awan on Tuesday said Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif has introduced the concept of “judicial marshal law” in the province, which is against Section 63-G of the constitution.
Talking to the media in Sargodha, Awan said the Pakistan Peoples Party’s (PPP) coalition government has been tolerating severe criticism adding that the federal and provincial governments were formed under the party’s reconciliation policy, which has not been done by any previous government.
The law minister said the PPP believes in empowering the provinces and that his party will continue with its reforms agenda.
To a question on his indictment in a case, Awan said he will not leave the country even if other cases are registered against him.

yes , its a judicial martial law in the country.
RecommendIt is shameful to witness what is occuring at the moment in our beautiful country, especially within the sphere of the province of Punjab. Lotacracy from the Sharif brothers is ruining this province. Pakistani nationals must not forget that the rise of the Sharifs was down to a dictator the late General Zia Ul Haq, so how they preach democratic values really confuses me. This politics of confrontation and hypocrites must stop immediately, otherwise this nation will be ruined. Recommend
