LAHORE The pro PML-N ulema on Saturday came out in the open against Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah and alleged that Sanaullah had close ties with banned militant outfits.

Naeemian Association Pakistan and Tanzim-i-Ahl-i-Sunnat on Saturday observed the first death anniversary of religious scholar Dr Sarfraz Naeemi.

While addressing the seminar, several ulemas lashed out at Sanaullah and held him responsible for not arresting the murderers of Dr Naeemi.

They demanded the dismissal of the provincial law minister.

Even PML-N MNA Sardar Ayaz Sadiq failed to defend Sanaullah on the occasion and regretted that the murderers were still at large.

Justice (Rtd.) Nazir Ahmed Ghazi, a member of the Tahafuz-i-Namoos-i-Risalat, criticized both the PML-N and the PPP.
