Shahbaz briefs PM Nawaz on security situation

LAHORE: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Chief Minister Punjab Shahbaz Sharif have held a meeting here at Raiwind to discuss the aftermath of Model Town episode and the situation arising out of Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) leader Dr Tahirul Qadri’s scheduled arrival on Monday.

According to a statement issued here Sunday, during the meeting Shahbaz Sharif said the politics of agitation was not a good idea in the prevailing circumstances and those who are indulging in such practice are the enemies of progress and prosperity.

“The intelligent people will reject such politics,” he added.

He briefed the PM over security situation in the backdrop of Dr Tahirul Qadri’s return to the country besides the ongoing probe into the Model Town incident.

Shahbaz Sharif said he would go any lengths to fulfill the prerequisites of justice.
