Reacting to Rana Sanaullah’s statement on Saturday, Provincial Law Minister Raja Basharat said that Rana Sanaullah’s claim regarding IG Prisons Punjab was completely baseless.
The IG Prisons had not been called by any government official nor had he been given any instructions regarding Hamza Shahbaz. Raja Basharat said that whether it was Hamza Shahbaz or anyone else, all are equal before the law and they are being treated according to the law.
He said that the present government believed in the independence of national institutions and at present all national institutions were independent and sovereign. He said that PML-N had made a habit of defaming national institutions. “They want to cover up their corruption with such tactics and want to put pressure on all national institutions under a well thought out plan aimed at saving their corrupt leadership but no conspiracy, no effort will succeed,” he added.
Raja advised Rana Sanaullah to confront the law with his leaders instead of making the institutions unnecessarily controversial.
