Punjab to replace law officers, says minister

LAHOREPunjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah has said the PML-N government would remove all law officers of the Advocate-General’s Office and the Prosecution Department.
Addressing the Lahore High Court Bar Association (LHCBA) at a reception given by the PML-N Lawyers Forum, the minister said the current law officers would be replaced with lawyers who had been sincere with the lawyers’ movement for the judiciary’s independence. He said the previous government had appointed these officers to help it oppose the movement. Sanaullah said the Punjab advocate-general would be removed in a few days, adding that a summary (proposal) for this purpose has already been moved. He said members of the PML-N Lawyers Forum as well as other lawyers who took active part in the movement would replace the incumbent law officers.
