Mian Sahbaz Sharif, while conveying the feelings and decision of party members /leadership to Mian Nawaz Sharif, has requested grace time for an enquiry being carried out by party’s disciplinary committee probing the MPA’s issue.

When contacted the PML-N spokesman Ahsan Iqbal informed Online that party had constituted a disciplinary party to probe the issue, which was formulating its report.
