    On Javed Iqbal: "The Punjab government had been annoyed at Iqbal’s stringent policies while in charge of the province’s police force. Sources in the police department confirmed that legislators belonging to Punjab’s ruling party, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), in particular were unhappy with the IGP. Iqbal, on assuming charge, had overtly directed his subordinates to not obey any questionable orders from members of the Provincial and National Assemblies."

    On Habir-ur-Rahman: "According to the sources, the PM has appointed Haji Habibur Rehman as the new IGP Punjab with the consensus of both the federal and provincial governments. Rehman was the Capital City Police Officer (CCPO) when Punjab was under governor-rule, and had managed to keep both the late Punjab governor Salman Taseer and the PML-N leadership, especially the Sharif brothers, content during this time.

    Rehman also had a role in relaxing the tight security circle in front of the Sharifs’ residence during the long March. At the same time, he had catered to the PPP’s desires in many cases as well and as such enjoyed the confidence of both the governments."
