LAHORE: The opposition parties have filed resolution seeking Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s resignation in Punjab Assembly for his alleged involvement on the Panama Leaks issue.

The resolution was submitted by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Mehmoodur Rasheed, Pakistan Peoples Party’s (PPP) Sardar Shahabud Din Khan and Pakistan Muslim League-Q (PML-Q) leader Sardar Waqas Hassan in the Punjab Assembly Secretariat here on Tuesday.

It is pertinent to mention here that second time the Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) did not participate in the effort of its other opposition parties and kept itself away to the issue in provincial assembly.

The resolution is filed in the assembly secretariat with the signatures of Punjab Assembly Opposition Leader Mian Mehmoodur Rasheed, PTI’s deputy parliamentary leader Sabtain Khan, PPP’s Sardar Shahabuddin, and PML-Q’s Sardar Hasan Akhtar Moakal.

In the resolution, it is stated that the prime minister during his address to the National Assembly a day before has failed to provide answers of the seven questions put by the joint opposition in the parliament that were connected to Panama Leaks.

During the Punjab Assembly session on Tuesday, no one signatory of the mentioned above resolution including Mian Mehmoodur Rasheed who was present all the time in the assembly proceedings or any other opposition member raised the issue of Panama Leaks or the prime minister’s address to the National Assembly in the House.
