PML-N' amends party constitution, allows disqualified MP to head party

ISLAMABAD: The central executive committee of PML-N on Monday approved an amendment in the party’s constitution, allowing a disqualified member of the parliament to head the party.

A meeting of the PML-N’s central executive committee was held at the Punjab House.

The PML-N leaders expressed confidence in the leadership of Nawaz Sharif.

They also endorsed a resolution forwarded by Climate Change Minister Senator Mushahidullah Khan.

The meeting, chaired by PML-N Acting President Sardar Yaqoob, also discussed today’s court proceedings and the situation emerged outside the premises of accountability court.

Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Shairf, the AJK prime minister, GB chief minister and other federal ministers were among those attended the meeting.

Earlier, former prime minister Nawaz Sharif made a second appearance before an anti-corruption court on Monday.

The former prime minister's indictment had been deferred until next hearing fixed for Oct 9.

The accountability court issued non-bailable arrest warrants for Sharif's children Hassan, Hussain, and Maryam, and for son-in-law Captain Safdar after they failed to appear before it despite repeated summons.
