LAHORE: Chief Minister Punjab Shahbaz Sharif on Wednesday related the matter of Rana Maqbool's arrest to the arrest of wanted persons in the federation. Meanwhile, Law Minister Babar Awan said there were no wanted persons or fugitives in the federation.
Sharif told media representatives that the court was "currently dealing with the matter of Rana Maqbool" and therefore he could not interfere in the issue.
Sharif said "how are wanted persons still part of the federal government?"
Separately, Babar Awan told reporters in Multan that "wanted persons have no place in government service...if there are any fugitives or absconders in the federal government, I would get them arrested myself".
We will keep working according to the constitution no matter what the number of "fake degrees" may turn out to be, Awan said.
He further said that "the people of Punjab are bound to ask for the province’s division if the entire provincial budget will be spent on Lahore".
Awan said those challenging the 18th Amendment were the ones who had a problem with democracy in Pakistan.
He further said that in the past, a few lawyers used to be paid but now that the government was giving funds to entire bar associations that some elements started to have a problem with it.
