ISLAMABAD: Former information minister and PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry has claimed that President Dr Arif Alvi had denied removal of Punjab Governor Omar Sarfraz Cheema from his post.
According to a local TV, he said this in a statement released on the social networking site ‘Twitter’ on Sunday.
صدر عارف علوی نے گورنر پنجاب کو عہدے سے ہٹائے جانے کی تردید کی ہے، گورنر کو ہٹانے کا اختیار صدر مملکت کا ہے ان کے دفتر تک ایسی کوئ سمری نہیں پہنچی، لہذا عمر چیمہ گورنر پنجاب کے طور پر خدمات انجام دیتے رہیں گے۔

It may be recalled that some time ago it was reported that Punjab Governor Omar Sarfraz Cheema has been removed from his post. This news was also confirmed by PML-N Central Spokesperson Marriyum Aurangzeb.
In this regard, sources had said that the federal government has sent a summary of removal of governor Punjab to the president.
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Head of Media Affairs Fawad Chaudhry said that the president has the power to remove the governor and no such summary has reached his office therefore Omar Cheema will continue to serve as the governor of Punjab.
Meanwhile, PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry has said that the call for overthrow of the imported government is about to come.
After the successful PTI meeting in Peshawar and Karachi, Fawad Chaudhry said in a message on social media platform Twitter that Peshawar and Karachi have shown that the country is ready for a soft revolution.
He wrote in his tweet that every city of Pakistan will become Tahrir Square. The call for overthrow of the imported government is about to come. Be ready. Wait for Imran Khan’s announcement, he said.
Earlier, former prime minister Imran Khan has said that they want to exclude PTI from the match through foreign funding case. I say that foreign funding cases of PPP, PML-N and PTI should be decided. If they push us against the wall, they will be harmed, not the country.
Addressing a rally in Karachi, he said, “I urge all Pakistanis to come together and say that we need elections. If people like Mir Jafar, then they will win. Mir Jafar has to take all kinds of revenge.”
Imran Khan said that only strong institutions make a strong nation. We have to be peaceful, this is our police, this is our army, we have always protested peacefully, our movement will remain peaceful, added.
He said, “I warn you, do not do anything that the movement becomes changed. I tell everyone to teach a lesson to these conscientious objectors in the election.”
He said that your freedom is more important than my life. I want friendship but no one wants slavery. Not against any country, not against Europeans or any other country, only with humanity, he said.
