LAHORE: Opposition leader in Punjab Assembly Raja Riaz on Wednesday claimed that he was getting "death threats" from Chief Minister Punjab Shahbaz Sharif, adding that if anything happened to him the responsibility should fall on the younger Sharif, DawnNews reported.
Speaking to media representatives, Mr Riaz said that Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif was harming democracy by making calls for early elections.
He said that finally a democratically elected government was completing its term but the "Sharif brothers want it to fall as soon as possible".
He said Shahbaz Sharif's delegation to Karachi was "only a farce", especially when the law and order situation in Punjab was "in bad shape".
Speaking of Sindh, Mr Riaz said that although calling the army to Karachi was an option, the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) “rejects the idea” for the time being.
