ISLAMABAD: Refusal of Punjab Governor Rafique Rajwana and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Governor Iqbal Zafar Jhaga to step down without verification of the directives of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz supremo, Nawaz Sharif has led to a new dispute.

The governors of two provinces have contacted President Mamnoon Hussain for confirmation of the directives of party Quaid Nawaz Sharif asking them to tender resignations from their offices.

The governors of the Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa were of the opinion that until it was not confirmed that former Governor of Sindh Muhammad Zubair stepped down at his own will or on directives of the PML-N supremo, they can’t take any decision in this connection. —INP
