LAHORE
Opposition Leader in National Assembly and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Shehbaz Sharif on Tuesday said that the opposition is not asking for any relief from the incumbent government.
Speaking after having a meeting with the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari here at his Model Town residence, Shehbaz Sharif said that they have submitted their suggestions to the government for amendments to NAB law.
“We have suffered from a nexus of government and NAB during the past two years,” he said, adding that it has been exposed as to how NAB was used to silence the opposition parties.
The opposition leader said that the amendments were suggested in the accountability law in light of the apex court’s recent remarks against the accountability watchdog. “Besides the court, top legal experts have also called for a complete revisit of the NAB laws,” he said.
Shehbaz Sharif further lamented NAB’s silence over wrongdoings in the federal and KP governments’ projects.
Speaking on the occasion, Bilawal Bhutto blamed the incumbent government for giving more NROs than any other previous government.
After giving NRO in the sugar and BRT scandals, they are now bent upon facilitating Indian spy Kulbhushan Jadhav, the PPP chairman said.
He announced to give good news to the nation after a Rehbar Committee meeting scheduled after Eid-ul-Azha and urged upon all opposition parties to unite on a single platform against the incumbent government.
Earlier, speaking to the media before the meeting, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that besides this meeting with Shehbaz Sharif, they would continue to meet in the future too.
Responding to the party stalwart Rehman Malik’s meeting with the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa a day before, he said that he would have met him in the capacity of chairman of the Senate’s Standing Committee on Interior Affairs.
Meanwhile, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz held a preparatory meeting before a meeting between Shehbaz Sharif and Bilawal Bhutto Zardari.
The meeting led by Shehbaz Sharif discussed the party version on opposition politics to be put before Bilawal. It was attended by party stalwarts including Ahsan Iqbal, Ayaz Sadiq, Saad Rafique, and Marriyum Aurangzeb.
