PML-N President Nawaz Sharif on Saturday, calling the PTI’s founder a major hurdle in talks, again questioned why his democratically-elected governments were removed and said the life of poor people in Pakistan had been rendered miserable by pushing inflation to a record high due to the policies followed by the PTI government.
The former prime minister said this while addressing a meeting of the PML-N parliamentary members in Murree Saturday. Nawaz Sharif said, “Those who were taunting us have destroyed democracy”.
“I have called on him at his home to offer him to work together,” former PM said. “I will send Nawaz Sharif in jail, will remove his AC, now you are in jail, I didn’t even give heed to it,” Nawaz said. “I have no objection if you get two ACs instead of one,” PML-N chief said.
He said the PML-N and the PPP even join hands to form a government, but his behaviour always remains like an estranged person. Nawaz Sharif said, “I was rewarded with jail sentence for conducting nuclear tests”. “Musharraf has not been in the world, I have no grudge against him”, Sharif said.
“Those calling metro bus as jangla bus, destroyed the country. We said farewell to the IMF, they brought it back again,” Nawaz Sharif said. “I will advise Shehbaz Sharif to bring a cheaper electricity. Maryam Nawaz has played role to control the price hike, I will tell her to invest Punjab’s money on its people”, PML-N chief said.
On the contrary, he said he had working relationship with the Pakistan People’s Party and his party signed the Charter of Democracy with former prime minister Benazir Bhutto as well.
The PML-N president said that during Imran’s tenure, he was threatened to get his prison cell’s AC removed. However, he said he did not believe in political vengeance.
In fact, the three-time prime minister said that he did not even think about it as Khan is serving his jail sentence now.
Nawaz expressed satisfaction over role of the federal and Punjab governments in reducing prices of essential commodities. He particularly appreciated the efforts of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz in this regard. He was confident that Pakistan would soon come out of crises.
The PML-N president said such policies should be framed that brought down the prices of electricity and gas. “Maryam Nawaz played a key role in bringing down inflation by not letting wheat price increase,” he said.
He said overall inflation was dipping and stock market was “unprecedentedly” skyrocketing. Nawaz called the PTI’s founder as major hurdle in talks as details of the PML-N senators meeting with the party’s leader surfaced.
Sources said that the senate members of Pakistan Muslim League-N asked about the party’s policy with regard to dialogue with the PTI.
“When they are not serious, how could anyone hold talks with them,” Nawaz said in his reply.
“I have called on him at his home to offer him to work together,” former PM said. “I will send Nawaz Sharif in jail, will remove his AC, now you are in jail, I didn’t even give heed to it,” Nawaz said. “I have no objection if you get two ACs instead of one,” PML-N chief said.
Nawaz Sharif said, “I was rewarded with jail sentence for conducting nuclear tests”. “Musharraf has not been in the world, I have no grudge against him”, Sharif said.
“Those calling metro bus as jangla bus, destroyed the country. We said farewell to the IMF, they brought it back again,” Nawaz Sharif said.
Nawaz Sharif again questioned why his democratically-elected governments were removed and said the life of poor people in Pakistan had been miserable by pushing inflation to a record high due to the policies followed by the PTI government.
