SAHIWAL, April 21: The Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz)’s local leaders are divided over nomination of secretary-general, whose seat had been vacated some time ago.

According to reports, Rao Muhammad Aslam had been removed from the office of the PML-N city president. I Z Bhatti, who was the party’s secretary-general at that time, replaced the president with the approval of the provincial and local leaders.

Subsequently, I Z Bhatti nominated Advocate Siraj Ahmad secretary-general of the party.

However, Youth Wing District President Amjad Rashid objected to the nomination and furnished his candidature for the slot.

He was nominated the secretary-general by the provincial leaders, but Mr Bhatti refused to recognise this appointment.

Sources said the party’s District President Malik Nadeem Kamran and Secretary-general Ehsanul Haq Idrees also have developed differences over the issue.

The PML-N provincial president has asked Saad Rafiq to visit Sahiwal and resolve the differences among the local leaders.
