After being elected as the 23rd prime minister of Pakistan following Imran Khan's unceremonious ouster through the no-trust motion, Shahbaz Sharif vowed that his government will probe the letter-gate scandal and reveal the facts before the public.
Reacting to the news, former information minister Fawad Chaudhry took to Twitter and rejected the newly-elected premier's offer.
"We reject Shahbaz Sharif's offer to probe the letter-gate scandal as it is a vicious attempt to give himself an NRO," he said. "The Supreme Court should form an independent commission to investigate the letter-gate scandal, headed by a person with a clean record."
During his first speech as the premiere at the National Assembly on Monday, PM Shahbaz had vowed that his government will launch an investigation into the threat letter controversy.
He added that the Opposition was discussing the no-confidence motion days before Imran Khan's "concocted threat letter controversy".
