PML-N finalises four names for polls probe body

Author: Agencies

Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) on Monday finalised four names for the committee to probe allegations of rigging in the July 25 elections.

The decision to this effect was made at a meeting of the PML-N’s parliamentary party, which was chaired by Shehbaz Sharif.

Ahsan Iqbal, Murtaza Javed Abbasi, Rana Sanullah and Rana Tanveer would represent the party in the committee.

Speaking on the occasion, the PML-N president said that party supremo Nawaz Sharif would not take part in any political activity until the Chehlum of his wife.

The meeting, while expressing its severe reservations, rejected the federal government’s mini-budget, and decided to raise voice against it in the National Assembly and Senate.

Last week, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf-led government and opposition parties had agreed to form the committee to probe rigging allegations. Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi had assured the government and opposition would have equal representation in the committee. The meeting also prayed for eternal peace of late Begum Kulsoom Nawaz.
