Rizvi also ruled out the alleged maltreatment of Nawaz Sharif in Adiala jail.

LAHORE (Dunya News) – Responding to the allegations levied against the interim Punjab government by Shehbaz Sharif, provincial law minister Zia Haider Rizvi has said that the administration is adhering to law and ECP’s code of conduct.

Talking to Dunya News, Rizvi said the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) president should refrain from levelling allegations against the interim government in Punjab.

“The reality is completely different from what Shehbaz Sharif claims. We are being provoked into revealing things.... but we won’t.”

“All parties are equal and we’re looking into the situation under the rule of law. It is not our mandate to level allegations or they’ll complain,” he added.

Denying the alleged maltreatment of Nawaz Sharif in Adiala jail, the interim law minister said the former prime minister is being provided facilities as per his privileges.

Shehbaz Sharif earlier lashed out the interim government, saying there was no difference between the caretaker government and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
