Rana Sanuallah to reassume Law minister office

LAHORE (Web Desk) – PML-N leader Rana Sanaullah is going to take oath as Law Minister of Punjab today (Friday).

Sanaullah is going to reassume the portfolio after getting cleared in 2014 Model Town incident in which more than a dozen supporters of Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) were killed by police.

Pakistani policemen arrest a follower of preacher Tahir-ul-Qadri during a protest in Lahore on June 17, 2014. At least seven people were killed June 17 when Pakistani police clashed with followers of a fiery preacher in the eastern city of Lahore, hospital officials said.  The clashes involved supporters of Canadian-Pakistani Tahir-ul-Qadri who held a major anti-corruption march last year prior to the May 2013 election that saw the country's first democratic handover of power.

The then law minister, Rana Sanaullah had justified the police action as legal. However, he was removed from office by Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif following the pressure from civil society and media.
