Entire nation wants Rana Sanaullah’s removal: TaseerStaff Report
LAHORE: The whole nation wants the removal of Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah for his alleged relations with terrorist organisations, Punjab Governor Salmaan Taseer said on Saturday.
The Punjab governor made these remarks while visiting the Idara-e-Minhajul Quran. Taseer said that he had informed the Punjab government about Sanaullah’s links with banned outfits but the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) had termed my statement ‘political’ but now the whole nation had realised the fact and was calling for the law minister’s removal.
The Punjab governor said that the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP)-led federal government had always supported the Punjab government and would continue to do so in the future as well. Taseer said that suspending or transferring a district coordination officer (DCO) or other bureaucrats was not a part of the solution and it was just a drama, which was staged by the Punjab government but the Punjab chief minister should realise his responsibilities now instead of quitting. The Punjab governor condoled with the institution’s chairman and principal Dr Hussain Akbar and prayed for the departed souls of the victims who had lost their lives in the Karbala Gamay Shah attacks. Separately, the PPP stalwart visited Services Hospital, Lahore to inquire after the injured of the attacks. Taseer asked that when the Punjab law minister was representing banned outfits, what message was the Punjab government giving to the masses.
