Since ex-premier and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif has to return to his prison barracks on May 7, the party members have taken a definitive position to set up 10 camps to express solidarity with him.
In this regard, leader of the Opposition in the Punjab Assembly (PA), Hamza Shahbaz, will today chair a consultation meeting at the PML-N Secretariat in Model Town, Lahore.
Reacting to the recent increase in the petroleum prices, the party has also taken a decision to put up hoardings, banners, posters and flexes at public places across the city as a protest against the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)-led federal government.
Besides, PML-N spokesperson Marriyum Aurangzeb took to Twitter for condemning the hike in petroleum prices by asking Prime Minister Imran Khan to “instead of giving an-hour long speech, pay a visit to the parliament for a minute to explain the rising prices ahead of Ramazan.
She questioned the sacking of the governor of the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) overnight.
The PML-N supreme leader was sentenced to seven years in prison and was fined Rs1.5 billion in Al-Azizia reference by an accountability court on December 24, 2018. However; he was acquitted in another reference related to the Flagship Investments.
He was imprisoned in Adiyala Jail and shifted to Kot Lakhpat Jail on his request.
He was granted a bail for six weeks for getting a treatment of his choice in the country for his complicated heart and kidney diseases.
The bail expires on May 7 as the apex court rejected his review petition seeking permission to go abroad for the treatment.
Nawaz Sharif had filed a petition in the Supreme Court to seek an extension of his bail until a decision on the review petition is decided.
