LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Punjab President Rana Sanaullah has urged the Chief Justice of Pakistan to take notice of Prime Minister Imran Khan's acquittal in the Parliament attack case.

Talking to media, here on Tuesday, Rana said the PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif was in London awaiting his surgery and also ensuring the treatment of the 'ruling gang.' "Nawaz Sharif would return to the country after both the treatments," he said, adding: "The people had accepted Nawaz Sharif's narrative and changing loyalties by some people would not affect the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM)," he asserted.

To a question, Rana said that different committees had been formed for the PDM rally in Lahore with the central one headed by Pervaiz Malik. He added that Lahore public meeting would be historic and decisive. Rana said the references filed against the Sharif family should be disposed of just like the prime minister had been acquitted.

He said the prosecution argued in PM case that the court's time was being wasted. Someone should ask them whether six years had not been wasted, the PML-N leader said. He said a time would come when the prosecution was going to tell the accountability court that the cases had been on a political basis.

If the institutions were being controversial then who had been doing so, he questioned. Who made the NAB controversial, he asked. He also wondered how democracy would move forward in the country if institutions were to be used for political objectives.
