House won’t function if Saad Rafique’s production orders not issued: PML-N

ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz said on Wednesday that the assembly will not function if party leader Saad Rafique’s production orders are not issued.

A parliamentary session under PML-N leader Shehbaz Sharif was held where the party leaders strongly condemned the arrest of Rafique and his brother.

The party leaders said that the ‘NAB-Niazi nexus’ is perpetrating vindictive acts which are undermining law and transparency in legal system.

The NAB and government are using political opponents, said the party leaders, adding that this attitude is leading Pakistan towards financial danger.

The PML-N leaders said that Hamza Shehbaz being added to the blacklist without any reason and inquiry against Marriyum Aurangzeb raised question on the law.

Shehbaz Sharif said that Finance Minister Asad Umar has admitted that the China Pakistan Economic Corridor is a transparent project.

The former chief minister said that the National Accountability Bureau will keep probing and they will not find any dishonesty.

“Even the NAB officials have acknowledged that the PML-N government overcame power crisis,” he said.

The current government brought worst form of unemployment and inflation for the public, said Shehbaz Sharif. 

The government and opposition traded barbs over the arrest of Khawaja Saad Rafique and the NAB during a heated National Assembly session.

Speaking on the floor, former prime minister and PML-N MNA Shahid Khaqan Abbasi said party members are ready if NAB is going to be used to pressurise the opposition.
