Shehbaz Sharif elected as acting president of PML-N
LAHORE: Putting all rumours to an end, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) finally made Punjab Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif its acting president on Tuesday.
The announcement was made in PML-N’s Central Working Committee (CWC) meeting held in Lahore and presided by Nawaz Sharif. Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi also attended in the meeting and arrived at the CWC via helicopter.
Maryam Nawaz and Hamza Shehbaz were also present during the meeting.
The ruling party has also elected Nawaz Sharif as ‘quaid’ of the party for life. The proposal was pitched by Raja Zafarul Haq, PM Abbasi and Shehbaz Sharif, the proposal gained ‘resounding’ approval from the CWC.
Earlier, Marriyum Aurangzeb, Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting said: “The Central Executive Committee and Central Working Committee of PML-N will meet on Tuesday to hold discussions on the election of the party president.”
“Targeting a single party is undermining the parliamentary process,” she added.
However, sources close to the PML-N had disclosed to The Express Tribune earlier that Shehbaz would take on the position.
According to the sources, the party had called a Central Working Committee meeting in Lahore at PML-N Secretariat on Tuesday, where it was to elect its new acting president and announce the date for the PML-N General Council meeting. The date will be set after the Senate elections on March 3. Sources had earlier revealed that during the council meeting, acting president Shehbaz will be elected as the new party president of PML-N.
Nawaz takes another jibe at judiciary
Nawaz Sharif said that despite there being no dictatorship in the country, the verdicts from the judiciary echo of a dictatorship-like era. He also said he will stand up against such decisions.
While addressing the PML-N CWC in Lahore, Nawaz said that nobody can bury history.
He further added that elected prime ministers haven’t been allowed to work for a complete tenure in the country’s history, the sanctity of vote has also desecrated. “How long will this keep happening and how long can the country function like this,” he questioned. He said the elected representatives work hard for the betterment of the people, but anti-democratic forces sack them, creating a crisis-like situation.
He also stated that the nation knows what the political leaders and parties bring to the table; ushering in a new era of prosperity, peace in Karachi. The former PM said: “It has been more than six months, yet not even an iota of corruption evidence have been proved against me in the court but despite that I was sent home packing by the judiciary”.
The ex-party chief also said he was stripped of the party presidency, despite it being the party workers’ right to elect whomever they see fit to lead their party. He asked if he was wrong to react after such verdicts.
For PML-N, Shehbaz is the obvious choice
Nawaz also said taking oath under the Provisional Constitutional Order (PCO) was a much bigger crime. He lashed out at the judiciary that they keep taking PCO oaths and defend dictators. He questioned how the judiciary could think that the common man would accept its verdicts after it keeps taking oaths under PCO.
He further added that the politicians were an easy target, as the judiciary won’t dare put their hands on the dictators. At least he couldn’t accept their verdicts.
On February 21, former prime minister Nawaz Sharif was disqualified from being the head of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N).
A three-judge bench, headed by Chief Justice Mian Saqib Nisar and comprising Justice Umar Ata Bandial and Justice Ijaz ul Ahsan, issued a short order on petitions filed against Sharif’s holding of the party position after his disqualification in the Panama Papers case.
In its five-page order, read by Chief Justice Nisar, the court declares that any person who is disqualified under the Article 62 or 63 of the Constitution is barred from holding the position of “Party Head” by whatever name called.
