The Punjab government has announced its decision to dismiss ‘political’ cases filed against Pakistan Muslim League-N workers, marking a significant shift in the political landscape.
According to party sources, the provincial administration has instructed the Advocate General Punjab to compile records of all such cases.
The government has ordered the immediate review and dismissal of cases where the state is the complainant, including those filed against PML-N members of parliament, office-bearers, and workers across Lahore and other regions of Punjab.
Many of these cases date back to high-profile political events, such as the rallies held upon the return of Nawaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz, which saw clashes with police.
Terrorism charges were also levied during these events. The previous administration under Chief Minister Usman Buzdar had registered dozens of cases against PML-N leaders and supporters.
Additional cases were filed during Maryam Nawaz’s appearances at the National Accountability Bureau, where hundreds of PML-N leaders and workers were booked.
Advocate General Punjab has already begun compiling the record of these political cases as part of the government’s initiative.
The move is expected to provide relief to PML-N workers and represents a significant step in addressing political grievances in the province.
