After the discussion, Tarar agreed to return to the cabinet and take over the responsibilities as a Federal Law Minister again.
It is pertinent to mention here that Azam Nazeer Tarar tendered his resignation on October 25 citing personal reasons.
The Senator’s resignation came after he was spotted at the Asma Jahangir Conference where audiences chanted slogans against the institutions.
“I am disappointed the way a small group of participants behaved at AJCON22 today by unnecessarily chanting slogans against state institutions n not listing to the achievements so far made for their benefits. We must respect each other’s point of view – hallmark of democratic society,” he tweeted.
Later, Prime Minister (PM) Shehbaz Sharif appointed PML-N leader Ayaz Sadiq as Minster of Law and Justice, handing him an additional portfolio apart from economic affairs.
Several videos of the anti-army sloganeering surfaced on social media, among other videos carrying speeches of judges, ministers, and others.
