Lahore—Federal Law Minister Babar Awan has asked the Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif to treat his allies in the same way as he treats his party legislators.

Talking to reporters at Lahore Airport on Sunday, Babar said the Punjab government should give due attention to control dengue virus instead of political virus, adding that the former could catch mosquitoes, if not the absconders.

Replying to a question about the interim short order by the Supreme Court regarding the judges’ appointment issue in 18th Amendment, the minister said: “the SC orders are being implemented in letter and spirit and the government would assist the apex court and Bars in the formation of judicial commission, which would be set up soon”.

When asked for his stance on the court ruling, he said, “I would speak on it in the Parliamentary Committee for Constitutional Reforms (PCCR) meeting, scheduled to be held on November 1. About Safdar Abbasi’s party membership suspension, he said that nothing such thing happened. “Public has no interest in the political cases, they just want the rulers to address their grievances”, Babar maintained.



On the other hand, Punjab Law Minister Rana said that Babar Awan is the biggest virus of corruption. He added that the country’s biggest problem is corruption and the virus of corruption must also be controlled. He also termed Babar Awan as the greatest threat to the democratic system of the country.
