Sharif­s, PM Abbasi and other top leader­s have agreed not to show any flexib­ilityISLAMABAD: Unfazed by threats from five lawmakers to resign, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has decided not to yield to a religious group’s demand for removal of Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah. No resignation has been received either in the National Assembly secretariat or in the Punjab Assembly secretariat. The demand is now being supported by Pir Hameeduddin Sialvi, the cleric from Sargodha. “There would be no end to this,” said the leader, referring to the demand by Pir Sialvi. A PML-N senator, who wished to be kept unnamed, said PML-N President Nawaz Sharif, Chief Minister Punjab Shehbaz Sharif, Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi and other top leaders of the party have agreed not to show any flexibility regarding the demand for Sanaullah’s resignation.
