Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry on Monday stated that it will be a positive development if the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) distanced itself from the Sharif family.
Fawad took to his Twitter to state that “it is necessary for political parties to change a leadership which suffers from moral and financial corruption”
He went on to state that the PML-N supreme leader Nawaz Sharif left his workers behind during a difficult time and sought refuge in London. “No one respects such a leader,” he added.
On holding dialogues with opposition parties, the minister said that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) -led government wants to hold talks with political parties on electoral and judicial reforms. “These reforms are not possible without negotiations with the opposition,” he added.
“But [the] PML-N and [Pakistan Peoples Party] PPP corrupt leaderships do not want to hold talks on anything except relief [in their cases],” claimed Fawad.
It is pertinent to note that the minister’s tweets came a day after he claimed that four of PML-N’s top leaders told ‘someone’ that they should be considered to replace Nawaz.
While addressing a presser in Lahore, the minister criticized the opposition parties over their anti-government protests, saying the opposition was divided.
Fawad claimed that except for the PTI no political party will be able to field its candidates on all seats — 1,100 in total — in the next general elections.
He went on to state that PML-N’s top four leaders met ‘someone’ and said that the party supremo did wrong to the country and they should be considered instead.
