LAHORE, June 9: Throwing caution to the wind, Punjab Assembly Speaker Rana Muhammad Iqbal Khan on Monday went at length in praising Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif and eventually called him as “Mr know-all”.

He said Shahbaz had obtained a vote of confidence with 266 votes, and sought time from the house to congratulate the chief minister. He said Shahbaz was the son of the soil and he knew each and everything of society, its people, parliamentarians as well as his options.

“I have yet to see such an intelligent chief minister like Shahbaz Sharif,” he said.

The speaker said Shahbaz had 15 computers fitted in his body -- 10 computers in his fingers, two each in eyes and ears and one in his tongue, and added that he had uncountable computers in his mind.

During the assembly proceedings, Prisons Minister Chaudhry Abdul Ghafoor also praised Shahbaz and Nawaz and even called their father as Mian Muhammad Sharif (RA.).
