In programme “Power Play” on ARY News, it was disclosed that Nawaz Sharif has tasked IB head to conduct an inquiry against those parliamentarians who were vocal in their criticism of the PML-N and the federal government and had relations with proscribed outfits.
The parliamentarians associated with PML-N were also among those whose past track-record were investigated to look for their alleged connections with banned outfits.
