ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Shehbaz Sharif has been declared leader of the opposition in the National Assembly (NA).

A notification in this regard was issued from the National Assembly secretariat on Monday.

The PPP had wrote a letter to NA speaker Asad Qaiser extending their ‘complete support’ for Shehbaz.

The PML-N being the majority party has every right to bring their opposition leader, read the letter.
