LAHORE:

A joint parliamentary party session of the Pakistan Muslim LeagueNawaz (PML-N) and allied parties chaired by Punjab Chief Minister Hamza Shehbaz on Sunday, unanimously passed a resolution expressing complete confidence in the PML-N leader.

The resolution presented discussed the “undemocratic” measures previously taken to impede the development of the province and obstruct the government from fulfilling its constitutional responsibilities.

The session also strongly condemned the unconstitutional measures taken to block the appointment of a provincial governor as on Saturday President Arif Alvi asked Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to reconsider his advice about the appointment of a new Punjab governor as Omar Sarfraz Cheema “still holds the office”.

He was responding to the premier’s summary about appointing a new governor — Baleeghur Rehman — after Cheema was de-notified by the Cabinet Division.

The session criticised the move of non-compliance within the seven-day period stipulated in the Constitution for the vote of no-confidence against Punjab Assembly speaker Pervez Elahi.
