Sarfraz Cheema has said that he will continue to perform his duties as long as the president wants.


Islamabad: Punjab’s sacked Governor and a senior leader of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Omar Sarfraz Cheema has reached Lahore on Tuesday, seeking consultation with constitutional experts regarding his removal from the position by the federal government.
According to details, Sarfaraz Cheema has been denotified as Punjab governor on Tuesday, hours after President Dr Arif Alvi’s rejection to approve Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's summary.
The President said that the Governor of Punjab could not be removed without his approval, as per Article 101 (3) of the Constitution.
The governor would continue until the president agrees to replace him, according to a note written by the president on the advisory.
He further added that there was no accusation of mismanagement against Punjab governor nor he has been convicted by any court.
“Hence, the incumbent governor has not done anything that’s against the constitution,” he said.
It should be noted that the government of Pakistan has issued a notification to remove Punjab Governor Omar Sarfraz Cheema from office.
Cheema was appointed as Punjab Governor after Chaudhry Sarwar resigned from his post.
