The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) MPA has moved a resolution in the Punjab Assembly seeking resignations of Federal Minister for Law Farogh Naseem and Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Accountability Shahzad Akbar.

Through the resolution tabled by Uzma Bukhari MPA, it has also been demanded to initiate contempt of court proceedings against the federal minister and the special assistant. Farogh Naseem had already apologized to former Attorney General of Pakistan (AGP) Anwar Mansoor over statement against him.

On the other hand, PML-N Punjab President Rana Sanaullah has said in a statement that the federal government is targeting political opponents by holding the institutions hostage.

Rana Sanaullah alleged that the incumbent regime is using the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) and the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) against its rivals. He stated that PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif will return to Pakistan in March. The PML-N supremo and erstwhile premier Nawaz Sharif is going to undergo a surgery which is the reason behind Shehbaz Sharif's stay in London, Rana Sanaullah said.

He said Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) President Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain claimed that no one will be willing to become prime minister after six months. Pakistan People's Party (PPP) and Maulana Fazal-ur-Rehman have already announced to stage protest against the government and we do not want anyone to initiate a separate campaign at the moment, he said. The PML-N leader said parliamentary party will take decision regarding in-house change and interim government will not be acceptable. PM Imran Khan exaggerates everything in his speeches, he remarked.
