ISLAMABAD: Giving a strong response to the statements of PTI leaders about a ban on the entry of Rana Sanaullah in Punjab, the interior minister on Wednesday threatened to impose governor's rule in the province.
Addressing a press conference in Islamabad, Rana Sanaullah warned, “A summary of imposition of governor rule is being prepared in the interior ministry.”
“A ban on my entry in Punjab would be the reason for the imposition of governor rule in the province,” the interior minister stated.
On July 19, PTI Senior Vice President Fawad Chaudhry had said that the PTI — once it forms its government in Punjab — may impose a ban on Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah and Punjab Home Minister Attaullah Tarar’s entry into the province next week.
During the presser, the interior minister threatened, “I have started work on the governor rule’s summary.”
Moving onto the SC’s judgment in the Punjab CM election case, the interior minister expressed regret over the post-verdict discussion on media and social media.
“There are some issues that trigger such conversation,” he said, adding that the contents of the letter written by SC senior-most judge Justice Qazi Faez Isa to the Judicial Commission of Pakistan (JCP) were a matter of concern.
“If such an atmosphere exists in honourable institutions, then we are on the brink of disaster,” he added.
Criticising PTI, Sanaullah accused Imran Khan of corruption. The anti-corruption department is probing Farah Gogi case, he said.
Sanaullah added that after the no-confidence motion against former prime minister Imran Khan was successful, the PML-N was of the view that we should go towards snap polls, indicating that the coalition partners did not agree at that time.
He also added that once general polls are announced, PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif will come back to the country and lead the election campaign.
"But now, the federal government is a coalition government, and this coalition has its governments in Sindh and Balochistan. The federal government has its own significance," he added.
Ban imposed on recommendation of Sindh IG to maintain law and order during Chup Tazia processions and Eid Milad-un-Nabi
