- We have suffered worst atrocities and victimization, says former three time premier
LONDON: Former prime minister and Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) President Nawaz Sharif on Saturday described the call for protest on November 24 an attempt to destabilise the country, dismissing the protest as “false propaganda” and labelling organisers as “liars.”
“Those behind the call for protest will ever succeed,” PML-N President Nawaz Sharif stated while talking to the media outside Avenfield House before leaving for Pakistan along with Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz and others left for Pakistan on Saturday.
Dr Adnan and Junaid Safdar have also been accompanying with them.
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founding chairman Imran Khan has called for a march on Islamabad on November 24. Imran’s sister, Aleema Khan, stated that he has issued a final call, addressing every supporter to take to the streets across Pakistan. After meeting with her brother at Adiala Jail, she spoke to the media outside the facility.
According to Aleema, Imran said, “On February 8, you brought about a revolution, and you took to the streets to exercise your constitutional right. You took power away from the elite and became powerful. But on February 9, the entire mandate was stolen.” She added that Imran expressed frustration over the alleged theft of votes, claiming they were handed over to a select few.
Talking to the media, the PML-N president declared, “We would bring improvement if our government not interrupted”.
“PTI did nothing except bringing disrepute to Pakistan,” he said.
“What didn’t commit by the PTI’s founder against us in collaboration with Qamar Bajwa and Faiz Hameed,” he questioned.
“An elected prime minister was removed from office with the connivance of the judiciary,” Nawaz Sharif said.
“We have suffered worst atrocities and victimization,” he added.
Nawaz Sharif had arrived in UK on October 26 and later after two days, left for the US.
The former prime minister with daughter Maryam Nawaz returned to London from their Europe visit on November 12.
In an earlier media talk, the former prime minister said that indicators show that Pakistan’s economy is recovering. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif left no stone unturned to steer the country out of quagmire of economic crisis, he added.
The PML-N chief said his party knew the economic woes of the people of Pakistan and it would provide them relief from inflated power bills and inflation.
