LONDON, ISLAMABAD: Former prime minister and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif on Friday telephoned Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) President and Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman and discussed with him present political situation of the country.
Sources privy to the development informed that both the leaders agreed on adopting an “aggressive” posture to counter the politics of the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI). They further said that the former prime minister not only agreed with the suggestions given by the JUI-F chief for the success of the coalition government, but also assured him that these would be implemented as well.
Furthermore, sources said that both Nawaz and Fazl were of the opinion that the coalition government should now take on the challenges of inflation and also take those trampling upon the constitution to task.
Similarly, both the leaders agreed that the “tales of corruption and bad governance” of the PTI government would be made public. Nawaz also had a telephonic conversation with former president and PPP Co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari yesterday.
The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz has said that PTI Chairman Imran Khan wants to create economic instability in the country, asserting that Pakistan cannot bear the Imran-Bushra-Gogi mafias’ thefts any more.
Reacting to Fawad Chaudhry’s statement on Friday, Information Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb said in a statement that people of Pakistan had rejected the politics of thieves, hypocrites and liars. She held that Imran’s government was toppled on April 3. “Days to hurl threats by the PTI members have gone now. Now keep your mouth shut and let the government do its work,” Ms Aurangzeb said categorically.
She asked her predecessor where the PTI’s election framework had been for the last four years. She said that everybody had seen PTI’s election framework in 2018 elections, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Azad Kashmir, Gilgit-Baltistan, Senate and Daska elections.
The minister was of the view that Imran wanted to create economic instability in the country, while denouncing the working of Imran-Bushra-Gogi mafias and other cartels in the country. She said that country could no longer bear their loot.
