Nawaz will make decision to return after consulting Maryam,
Former prime minister Shehbaz Sharif has raised the demand for an inquiry into President Arif Alvi’s statement on bills.
“There should be an inquiry into the statement made by the president,” Shehbaz said while talking to the media in London.
In a tweet, the president denied sighing the Official Secrets Amendment Bill 2023 and Pakistan Army Amendment Bill 2023.
“As God is my witness, I did not sign Official Secrets Amendment Bill 2023 & Pakistan Army Amendment Bill 2023 as I disagreed with these laws.
“I asked my staff to return the bills unsigned within the stipulated time to make them ineffective. I confirmed with them many times whether they have been returned & was assured that they were.
“However I have found out today that my staff undermined my will and command. As Allah knows all, He will forgive IA. But I ask forgiveness from those who will be effected.”
Following the remarks, the presidential secretariat wrote to principal secretary to prime minister that the services of Mr Waqar Ahmed, Secretary to President, are no more required and are surrendered to the Establishment Division immediately.
However, Secretary Waqar denied the allegations of President Dr Arif Alvi and demanded the holding of an inquiry into the matter.
Shahbaz Sharif said the matter is not so simple, the president will have to answer.
“A transparent inquiry will unearth the truth. Why did the president wait so long? he questioned
