"The situation of the Punjab Assembly in the recent past has turned into a major constitutional crisis," Cheema maintained. On the directions of the LHC, the contest for the chief minister’s slot was held on April 16. On April 29, LHC judge Jawad Hassan had directed the NA speaker to administer oath to Hamza the next day to put an end to the crisis in Punjab. The second time, the LHC chief justice had advised the Punjab governor to ensure the swearing-in of Hamza, but the constitutional obligation was not followed. The PML-N leader for the third time knocked the LHC doors over not being administered his oath.
