A treason case has been registered against former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif at a Lahore police station on charges of provocative speeches.

Maryam Nawaz, former premier Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, Ayaz Sadiq, Pervaiz Rashid, Khawaja Asif, Rana Sanaullah and Iqbal Zafar Jhagra have also been included in the case.

The FIR stated that Nawaz Sharif was a convict and the law of Pakistan doesn’t allow him to carry out such kind of speeches.

Punjab Information Minister Fayyaz-ul-Hassan Chohan said that all PML-N leaders who have been nominated in treason case should be arrested by police.

Punjab Police have rightly filed a case against PML-N leaders including Nawaz Sharif, Maryam Nawaz and Shahid Khaqan Abbasi. Police should form teams for immediate arrest of all the accused, he stated.

Earlier, a treason case was lodged against PML-N leader Safdar in Satellite Town Police Station, Gujranwala for using threatening words against state institutions. PML-N MPA Imran Khalid Butt was also nominated in the case.

A special team was formulated for the arrest of the PML-N leaders.
