Shahbaz slams minister for criticising Saudi govt's Hajj arrangements

Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif has condemned allegations made by Religious Affairs Minister Hamid Saeed Kazmi against the Saudi government.

The allegations have been made with regard to the Hajj arrangements.

The chief minister said that accusations have been levelled against a "brotherly country" that always supports Pakistan in times of crises.

Sharif said Kazmi should be ashamed of his ministry's poor arrangements, instead of levelling these baseless allegations.

The chief minister also demanded an apology from the religious affairs minister for his statements.
