Punjab Governor Latif Khosa Saturday blamed Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif for inciting the masses against the federal government, adding that Shahbaz is backing the violence in the province.
Talking to reporters in Lahore, Khosa said Shahbaz was backtracking from his statement made during the National Energy Conference as Shahbaz Sharif had praised the PM’s initiatives regarding the solution of the energy crisis. He said all the decisions were made during the conference with the mutual consensus of provinces and federal government, adding that the Punjab government was running its affairs illegally. He said Shahbaz wanted to damage the center by leading the violent protest against the federal government in Punjab, adding that the incumbent government wants democracy in the country. He warned Shahbaz that Punjab government would collapse with in no time, if sued in the High court.
He said with the willingness of all four provincial ministers the decisions were made during the energy conference.
Accepting the reality of American and NATO forces strength, Khosa said giving free hand to any other country in Afghanistan was against national interest.
