Remove Rana Sanaullah for statements against Awan: Senate
PML-N's Rana Sanaullah called out for declaring PPP's Babar Awan 'Wajibul Qatl'.
ISLAMABAD:
The Senate on Wednesday passed a resolution against Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah, saying the provincial government must remove him from his post over his statements against Senator Babar Awan.
After the budget was announced on June 10, Sanaullah criticized Awan and Punjab Governor Khosa, calling them “black sheep in black coats”.
Sanaullah claimed that Awan was a corrupt lawyer who accepts fees from “corrupt elements who looted the Bank of Punjab”.
He further added that Awan and Khosa are considered “obnoxious characters” within the lawyers community and they should be eliminated.
Sanaullah used the word Wajibul Qatl (liable to be killed) to describe Awan.
The Senate condemned this statement today (Wednesday) and urged the Punjab government to take action against Sanaullah for these remarks.
The Senate also demanded the formation of a commission to investigate the statements and called for disciplinary action against Sanaullah.
The Senate warned that the Punjab government and Sanaullah will be responsible if any harm comes to Awan.
Sanaullah told The Express Tribune that his statements should be taken in the context of the lawyers community, clarifying that lawyers deem corrupt lawyers ‘liable to be killed’.
