Hamza expresses confidence in party decisions taken in London

Punjab Chief Minister Hamza Shehbaz expressed confidence in the decisions being taken by the PML-N leadership in London and said "good decisions" are being taken for the welfare of the people.

The top leadership of the ruling PML-N took major decisions to take the country out of the political, economic and constitutional crisis, which would be shared with the government allies before making them public, two federal ministers said a day earlier. 

Prime Minister Shehbaz went to London along with a 10-member delegation for talks with the PML-N Quaid, who is in the British capital since November 2019 for medical treatment. For three days, the PML-N leaders held back-to-back meetings to discuss ways to deal with the issues facing the country.

The new chief minister of Punjab also warned the ousted prime minister Imran Khan over his volatile conduct and said the PML-N would teach him a lesson on “how the Constitution is obeyed”.

Hamza’s remarks came while he addressed the media outside the special central court after attending proceedings in the money laundering case.

However, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif could not attend the court proceedings for the day due to ‘medical treatment’ in London. The court was hearing pre-arrest bails of the aforementioned in alleged money laundering of Rs16 billion.

Responding to a question regarding PTI’s Sialkot public gathering, Hamza made it clear that the party would not be allowed to organise a public gathering on church land which is used for religious purposes.

“I am warning the former PM that he will not be able to find any place to hide when the law proceeds against him. There is evidence against him”, the CM Hamza maintained.

"You [Imran] continued making a mockery of the institutions. You did not give respect to court decisions and you constituted politically motivated cases against us. But, the PML-N that will not take revenge from you as the Constitution will take its own path and you will be taught how the Constitution is obeyed”.

The provincial chief executive further said that the PML-N had dealt with the menace of loadshedding in the country but the PTI government was unable to contain the issue. 

Hamza add that the party held a three-hour-long meeting with the PTI’s administration and offered them an alternative place rather than organising a public gathering where the minorities had strong concerns, but efforts proved futile as the PTI’s leaders wanted "bloodshed".
