Energy Protests: ‘Punjab CM violating constitution’

SARGODHA: Minister for Water and Power Tasneem Ahmed Qureshi said the Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif was violating the constitution by instigating people to protest and leading rallies against the energy crisis. Addressing a gas supply ceremony, the minister said that by politicising the issue, the PML-N leadership was conspiring against the federation. If the PML-N wants to launch a long or short march, they must quit national and provincial assemblies, he said.
