Nawaz Sharif, the supreme leader of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz, has remarked that a cruel joke has been played on Pakistan for personal advantage.
Speaking to reporters after meeting with a team of senior Pakistani party leaders, Nawaz blamed the country’s plight on former army head Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa and former spymaster Gen Faiz Hamid.
“The reality is before everyone. Now no name or face is hidden. Pakistan was used for personal gain. It was a cruel joke played on the nation.
“In my Gujranwala jalsa, I stated who was responsible and everything was out in the open. It is my responsibility to tell the nation about the wrongs committed against the people, and it is my responsibility to make things right,” he added.
His remarks came in the wake of a top-level huddle where he and his daughter, Maryam Nawaz, met with party leaders to discuss strategy as the possibility of polls in two provinces grows.
The meeting took place amidst heightened political activity back home, with the dissolution of both Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assemblies and the imminent return of Ms. Nawaz to Pakistan.
PML-N leaders Rana Sanaullah, Pervaiz Rashid, and Javed Latif were also present during Thursday’s meeting at Stanhope House.
Rana Sanaullah stated that more meetings will be held in the coming days and that the party’s election campaign would begin in accordance with the guidance provided by their leader. He confirmed Maryam Nawaz’s return the next week.
When asked about the return of the elder Sharif, Rana Sana responded, “It is anticipated MNS will return, and he will lead the party’s election campaign. The legal ramifications of his return were also examined.”
There are no differences between former PM Shahid Khaqan Abbasi and the PML-N leadership, Sana clarified.
