ISLAMABAD: Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah warned on Wednesday governor’s rule would be imposed in Punjab if he was barred from entering the province.

Addressing a press conference here, Sana said he had already begun drafting a summary for imposition of governor’s rule, which was moved by the interior ministry. He said it was because of the kind of statements the opposition political leaders had been making.

“If my entry is restricted, it will provide sufficient grounds for imposing the governor’s rule,” he asserted.

However, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Senior Vice-President Chaudhry Fawad Hussain strongly reacted to Rana Sanaullah’s statement, saying that the minister’s talk of governor’s rule was shameful, as he did not understand what he was talking about.

He advised the minister to read the rules that allow the governor’s rule. Fawad alleged that the attitude of Muslim League-N leaders Rana Sanaullah, Marriyum Aurangzeb and others showed that they were politically mindless people. He claimed the PTI core committee would decide when to dislodge the federal government.

The PTI leader said that most of such people in the Muslim League-N were apolitical; there was no such thing as intellect. “It is a shame to see Rana Sanaullah’s press conference that such people hold such big positions in the country.”

Fawad said a Supreme Court verdict was announced on Tuesday and today they were saying that they would impose the governor’s rule. “I would advise them to read the law regarding the governor’s rule, so that you know under what circumstances governor’s rule is imposed,” he remarked.
