Islamabad : Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz party leader and former Prime Minister Main Muhammad Nawaz Sharif has expressed his reservations on seeking resignation of former federal law minister Zahid Hamid.
The credible sources have disclosed that Muhammad Nawaz Sharif has annoyed and upset on the matter of seeking resignation from Zahid Hamid for ending the Fazabad sit-in.
Sources said that Chief Minister Punjab Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif has early threatened to take alarming steps if Zahid Hamid not tender resignation and if crackdown launch against protesters.
On the other hand after tendering his resignation former Law minister Zahid Hamid has refused to head the NAB parliamentary committee so that committee meeting was postponed.
Earlier, Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi had accepted the resignation of Zahid Hamid on Monday. Hamid voluntarily stepped down from his position late on Sunday.
The decision came in the wake of the protests across the country, following Saturday’s crackdown by the police and paramilitary personnel on Islamabad sit-in by a religious group.
Meanwhile, according to sources privy to the development, senior Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz party leaders expressed their reservations on Hamid’s resignation in a high-level consultative meeting held in Islamabad on Sunday.
The senior party members leaders were of the opinion that law minister’s resignation will belittle the government. However, Punjab CM Shehbaz Sharif maintained the stance that in view of normalising the situation resignation should be given.
The chief minister after the party meeting in Islamabad, flew to Lahore, where he held a one-hour meeting with Hamid and compelled him to resign, which the latter accepted.
