Addressing a press conference in Islamabad, Governor Punjab asked him to tell in connection with the law that who could administrate the oath, with the exception of the Governor and President.

Omar Sarfraz claimed that one constitutional institution could not interfere on the matter of another one.

He alleged that the judiciary was misused, adding that none of the political leader staged protest over the affecting supremacy of the parliament.

Omar Sarfraz questioned: "How could they provide justice to the masses, who failed to consider the supremacy of the parliament"?

The Governor Punjab went on to say that in this crisis, three characters were surfaced, which included the Judiciary, Parliament and political parties, questioning that what were their roles?
