Clerics demand Sanaullah’s sacking over terrorist ties
LAHORE: Tahafuz-e-Namoos-e-Risalat, a consortium of religious clerics from different Sunni organisations, on Sunday announced a complete boycott of the Punjab government unless they sack Law Minister Rana Sanaullah for his ties with banned terrorist organisations. The consortium made these comments during a seminar organised on the Qul rituals of those who lost their lives in the Data Darbar attack. The clerics said terrorists were able to operate freely in Punjab due to their ties with Punjab government officials, especially Sanaullah. Peace could not prevail in Punjab unless the terrorists’ network is busted, and the first step to do so is to remove Sanaullah from office, they added. Separately, a private TV channel reported the Punjab chief minister has rejected the demand to remove Sanaullah from office, terming it “unrealistic”, according to APP. staff report/app
