5 legislators from ruling PMLN resign on order of their Sunni spiritual leader

Expressing their no trust in their ruling Pakistan Muslim League-N, two Members of National Assembly and three Members of Punjab Assembly announced on Sunday they have submitted their resignations to Pir of Sial Sharif Khuwaja Muhammad Hameeduddin Sialvi, a Sunni spiritual leader. The ASWJ-allied PMLN seems to be losing support of Sunni Bralevis on the issue of Khatam-e-Nubuwwat.

The PMLN has been tilting to the banned Deobandi takfiri terrorist outfit ASWJ that has made many Sunni and Shia Muslims to distance from the Nawaz Sharif-led ruling party of Pakistan and its Punjab province.
The Sunni MNAs and MPAs made this announcement at a mammoth congregation: Khatam-e-Nabuwat (finality of the Prophethood) Conference, at the Iqbal Park Dhobi Ghat ground. Central leader of Jamaat-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat Pakistan and head of Sunni Ittehad Council, Sahibzada Hamid Raza, termed the resignations of PML-N lawmakers as first installment. Amid slogans, he announced that the second installment of 15 more legislators would be announced at the All Pakistan Khatam-e-Nubuwwat Conference in Lahore, if Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah doesn’t resign, immediately. Those who announced their resignations included the MNAs Ghulam Bibi Bharwana from Jhang and Dr Nisar Ahmed Jutt from Faisalabad and MPAs Maulana Rehmatullah from Chiniot Ghulam Nizamuddin Sialvi from Sargodha and Muhammad Khan Baloch from Jhang. The young son of the elderly Maulana Rehmatullah formally announced resignation on behalf of his father who was also standing at the stage.
Six scholars of the PML-N Ulema Wing and 25 UC Chairmen also submitted their draft resignations to the Conference organisers. The Conference was attended by caretakers of various eminent shrines across the Punjab, pledging support to Pir of Sial Sharif and his campaign against the culprits of Lahore Model Town tragedy. In his brief address to the participants of the conference, Khuwaja Hameeduddin Sialvi said that he is not a political person and the agenda and focus of the congregation was nothing else but the issue of Khatam-e-Nabuwat.
“As ardent believers of Khatam-e-Nabuwat, we gathered here not for soliciting support for elections or a political agenda,” Sialvi asserted referring that Pakistan came into being in the name of Islam but ‘Law of Shariah’ has been set aside.
Prominent religious clerics including Dr Muhammad Asharf Jalali, Pir of Taunsa Sharif and former Chief Minister Punjab Dost Muhammad Khosa also addressed the Conference. They reiterated their demand for resignation by the Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah over his stance on the finality of Prophethood (PBUH).
The roads leading to the venue and ground were decorated with the banners and flags.
