LAHORE: Provisional Minister of Punjab for Colonies Fayyaz Ul Hassan talking to the media today said that leader of the opposition in the National Assembly played an elaborate ruse yesterday, ARY News reported on Monday.
The Minister referencing Shehbaz Sharif’s apparent action against the british news media outlet called it a bluff and revealed that what the leader of the Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) has termed “lawful action” was infact a mere complaint.
Chohan voiced the sentiments which have already been expressed by the Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Accountability, Shahzad Akbar to file a legal case of libel and/or slander on the british media outlet if the story they ran on Sharif was infact fictitious and lies, as Sharif had claimed prior.
Directing his attention towards the Jamiat e Ulema Islam Faza (JUI-F), chohan said: “Molana believes in monetary gains over principals.”

Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Accountability, Shahzad Akbar has said that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Shehbaz Sharif had only lodged a complaint against British newspaper instead of filing a lawsuit, it was reported yesterday.
Addressing a press conference in Islamabad, Shahzad Akbar once again challenged PML-N leader to serve him a legal notice.
“I can say with all confidence that he will never take this matter to a court in the United Kingdom,” he added.
He said Shehbaz Sharif should have gone to British courts as claimed by him, adding that he will himself present the evidence against Shahbaz Sharif in London courts.
He said the journalist who published the story in Daily Mail still stands by it.
