Pakistan Muslim league-Nawaz (PML-N) President and Opposition Leader in National Assembly (NA) Shehbaz Sharif on Friday has advised PPP Co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari not to target former premier Nawaz Sharif the way he (Zardari) did during his stay in Lahore.
Shehbaz Sharif said in a tweet “Zardari Sahib’s statement about Mian Nawaz Sharif is unfortunate. Zardari sb knows the conditions in which MNS had to go abroad. We should refrain from such remarks & work for the greater good of the country,”
Mr Shehbaz’s statement came three days after Mr Zardari took on Nawaz Sharif for ‘fleeing’ the country.
“He (Nawaz) who does not wish to die on the soil of the homeland can do nothing for the country. The PML-N is against the homeland,” Mr Zardari had said while speaking at Bilawal House in Bahria Town on Monday last to celebrate the party’s ‘rebirth’ in the Punjab capital.
He also said Nawaz Sharif got demarcation of constituencies on the basis of biradaris (castes) after the 1977 polls and pledged to reshape these constituencies as per the original blueprint after winning next elections.
Shehbaz Sharif reminded Mr Zardari of Nawaz’s unwavering commitment to the country. “Mian Sahib’s unwavering commitment to Pakistan has always been unquestionable,” he said.
A PML-N leader futher said that Mr Zardari was not expected to get that much harsh on Mr Nawaz. “After deliberations for a few days, the party leadership finally decided to give some response to Mr Zardari,” he said.
