MURREE
Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Nawaz Sharif on Saturday said he was the kind of person who did not harbour malice, enmity or revenge against others.
Without taking Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan’s name, Nawaz said he always behaved like an angry man.
“He once said in a public rally ‘Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif I will drag you here’,” he said lambasting the PTI founder over his disrespectful remarks against the then-serving PM.
The former prime minister said this while addressing a meeting of the PML-N parliamentary members in Murree today.
On the contrary, he said he had working relationship with the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and his party signed the Charter of Democracy with former prime minister Benazir Bhutto as well.
The PML-N president said that during Khan’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.
It should be noted that the government has time and again extended Khan an olive branch but the offer was disdained from the other side that wished to hold talks with the “real stakeholders” only.
According to the sources, the party’s leadership would hold talks with various political parties outside the Parliament, while its lawmakers would also enhance its relations with parties in the ruling coalition government.
The PTI founder’s decision came after his interaction with Chief Justice of Pakistan Qazi Faez Isa when he appeared for a hearing before the Supreme Court on June 6.
During the hearing pertaining to the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) law amendments, CJP Isa suggested that Khan go to the Parliament to help resolve Pakistan’s problems “as the country needs to move forward”.
