In his letter, the minister stated, “It is a matter of great concern that Mian Shahbaz Sharif, the opposition leader, has been conspicuous by his absence for a long time. In addition, he has withdrawn from the position of chairman Public Accounts Committee, which is an important component of the National Assembly.”
