Shehbaz Sharif case: Federal govt plans NA resolution for live broadcast

ISLAMABAD: Federal government has decided to bring a resolution in National Assembly for live broadcast of the trial of Opposition Leader and PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif in a money laundering case, ARY NEWS reported.

The federal government has taken a view that a live broadcast of the ‘open and shut’ case against Shehbaz Sharif should be ensured in order to expose his wrongdoings before the public.

The treasury members in the National Assembly have already begun working on the resolution and said that his case should become a public example of exposing corrupt practices in the country.
