Earlier, the Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) had nominated Malik Ahmad Khan Bhachar as the Leader of the Opposition in the Punjab Assembly and Pir Moeenuddin Qureshi as his deputy. SIC chief Sahibzada Hamid Raza had announced both the nominations a few days ago.
In a statement, the SIC chief deplored the state of affairs as Mian Aslam Iqbal, who was nominated opposition leader in the Punjab, was not even being allowed to take oath as a member of the assembly.
“Keeping this situation in view, Ahmed Khan Bhachar is temporarily nominated as the Opposition Leader on the instructions received from PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan in consultation with Mian Aslam Iqbal,” the Sahibzada added.
Mian Aslam Iqbal will be the leader of opposition after taking oath, he concluded.
