    Bilawal declines Gilani’s resignation as Leader of Opposition Senate

    Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairperson Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari has refused to accept his party leader Yusuf Raza Gilani’s resignation as the Leader of the Opposition in the Senate.

    The party chairman said that Gilani has given exemplary services for democracy in the country. Bilawal Bhutto also backed the PPP leader’s statements and expressed his regret over the role of Chairman Senate Sadiq Sanjrani in the passing of the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) Amendment Bill, 2021 by calling the act “in connivance with the government”, reports Geo News.

    Moreover, Bilawal said that the PPP is the only political party in which the elected representatives present themselves for accountability.

    Yesterday, Gilani said that he had handed over his resignation to his party after he received criticism for being absent from a key Senate session.

    Gilani took the mic in the Upper House on Monday and condemned the biasness shown by the chairman Senate. He said, “In the history of Pakistan Senate, it was the first time the Chairman Senate had to give a vote. As a neutral person, you should have not done this. As the custodian of the House, you should have protected the rights of both sides of the House.”

    On January 28, the Leader of the Opposition was absent when the government passed the SBP amendment bill in the Senate. He said that he had received the agenda of the House only a few hours before the session and it was not possible for him to travel in such a short period of time.

    Nawaz Sharif has not undergone any procedure since 2020

    Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supreme leader Nawaz Sharif has not undergone any medical procedure since 2020, reports Dawn.

    Sources privy to the matter revealed to the news outlet that the former prime minister was advised to undergo a fresh cardiac procedure that is not without its risks.

    Health Minister Dr Yasmin Rashid said that Sharif has had ample time for treatment — Covid or no Covid — and “if he has survived for two years on medication alone, he is stable” enough to travel back to Pakistan.

    Rashid further points out that while cardiac catheterisation — the procedure that the former premier was scheduled to undergo when he proceeded abroad — could also have been carried out in Pakistan, Sharif had insisted he would prefer to undergo the procedure in the UK, where he had already been operated upon twice.

    It is pertinent to mention here that the Attorney-General of Pakistan (AGP) Barrister Khalid Javed Khan has said that there is no evidence to support that Nawaz Sharif’s medical reports are fake.

    Speaking on Geo News show ‘Aaj Shahzeb Khanzada Kay Sath’, the AGP Javed said they do not want to initiate contempt of court proceedings against Shehbaz Sharif over the subject of Nawaz Sharif’s return. Instead, he said, they want the situation to be settled amicably.

    AGP Khalid Javed said that Rashid too said that the medical reports of Nawaz Sharif were not fake.

    Earlier the AGP had written a letter to the Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif to bring back his brother Nawaz Sharif to Pakistan.

    The AGP had instructed Shehbaz to submit Nawaz’s medical reports within the next ten days. In case he fails to do so, contempt of court petition will be filed against Shahbaz.
