PPP Punjab lawmakers want Sharifs disqualified for polls
 [Dawn] The Pakistain People's Party Punjab parliamentarians on Saturday passed a resolution demanding disqualification of Sharif brothers for contesting elections for at least 10 years after the Supreme Court's verdict on Air Marshal (retired) Asghar Khan's plea.The resolution was passed at a meeting of PPP provincial politicians here, presided over by Opposition Leader in the Punjab Assembly Raja Riaz. The resolution also sought suspension of chief minister's assembly membership and putting the names of Shrif brothers on the Exit Control List. It demanded the federal government should hold a transparent probe into the charges against all politicians who received money from the Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) to stop the PPP from coming into power in 1990. It also demanded court martial of the two army officers involved in the Mehrangate scandal. Talking to news hounds after the meeting, Raja Riaz said the Sharif brothers had also conspired to topple the PPP government in 1993 and later got a "fake" two-thirds mandate in 1996. "Now everyone knows how the Sharifs manage to win the elections," Riaz said, demanding not only the Sharifs should be declared disqualified in the light of the Supreme Court's verdict but criminal proceedings should also be launched against them.
