In August 2011, he accused American Warren Weinstein of being an American spy although Weinstein had lived in Pakistan for seven years and there was no evidence that he was a spy. Weinstein went missing a week later and has not been heard from since. On 20 June 2014 Rana Sanaullah was sacked as Law Minister of Punjab, in an attempt to prevent meddling in the investigation that even includes his former boss, Chief Minister of Punjab Shahbaz Sharif. However, many politicians including representatives of the Minhaj-ul-Quran (Tahir-ul-Qadri's party) have dismissed this as a stunt and demand the resignation of the Shahbaz cabinet.
