Punjab Governor Omar Sarfraz Cheema announced on Thursday to file a reference against the Lahore High Court (LHC) Judge Justice Jawad Hassan, who had ordered the National Assembly Speaker Raja Pervaiz Ashraf to administer the oath to Hamza Shehbaz as Punjab's chief minister.
Addressing a press conference at the Governor House Punjab, Cheema said that Justice Hassan made an unconstitutional decision.
"I will file a reference in the Supreme Judicial Council as the governor, where it will be written that only the president and the governor can administer the oath," he said.
