LAHORE: Punjab Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Wednesday said the Pakistan Muslim League-N government has unwavering belief on the finality of prophethood (Khatm-e-Nabuwat) and the change in the words already included in the oath in recent Election Reforms Act approved by the parliament did not reflect the standpoint of the PML-N.

He said the past of PML-N president Nawaz Sharif along with that of the party leadership was witness to the fact that they had always expressed deep-rooted attachment with the belief in the finality of the prophethood at every phase of their life.

Govt tells NA: No change in oath avowing Khatm-e-Nabuwwat

The chief minister said the federal government should immediately restore the old words in the text of the oath relating to the belief in the finality of the prophethood through a new amendment so that misunderstandings of the people resulting due to this anomaly could be rectified.
