ISLAMABAD: On Saturday, the Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) issued a show-cause notice to one of its leaders, Daniyal Aziz, for breaching party regulations, according to the reports.
Rana Sanaullah, the president of PML-N Punjab, issued the notice, accusing Aziz of violating party rules by making what was described as a ‘rhetorical statement’ against PML-N leadership, causing harm to the party’s reputation.
In the show-cause notice, Daniyal Aziz has been instructed to provide a response within seven days. Rana Sanaullah, in a press conference, emphasized the need for caution when making statements to the media.
It is noteworthy that Daniyal Aziz had attracted attention with his controversial tweets on X (formerly Twitter) and statements on a TV channel, where he held his own party leader, Ahsan Iqbal, responsible for issues related to price control.
PCB Reverses Decision: Salman Butt Removed as Consultant Amidst Backlash and Controversy
Meanwhile, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) swiftly reversed its decision to appoint former cricketer Salman Butt as a “consultant member” to chief selector Wahab Riaz within 24 hours of the announcement. The move had garnered severe criticism from the cricketing community and fans.
Wahab Riaz, addressing the media at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, acknowledged the public backlash and stated, “People were talking all sorts of stuff about me and Salman Butt. Therefore, I am reverting the decision, and I have already spoken to Salman Butt and told him that he cannot be part of my team.” Riaz emphasized that the decision to appoint Butt was solely his own but was being revoked due to the negative publicity and “propaganda.”
The PCB had initially named Salman Butt, along with Kamran Akmal and Rao Iftikhar Anjum, as members of the selection committee led by Wahab Riaz. However, social media users and former cricketer Sarfraz Nawaz expressed dissatisfaction with the appointment, citing Butt’s involvement in the 2010 spot-fixing scandal, for which he had been banned and sentenced to prison.
