ISLAMABAD, May 11 (TNS): Former-prime minister Nawaz Sharif on Friday said that he was ousted from premiership of country and presidency of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) for life on the basis of a fake media report, adding that NAB chairman’s recent decision to launch a money-laundering probe against him is not a minor issue but a serious matter.
Informally talking to media outside accountability court, Nawaz Sharif said that those who disqualified him now have to find out the way. This has never happened in even martial law era, he added.
Responding to a question, Sharif said that Central Executive Committee (CEC) meeting was summoned to discuss allegations leveled by National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Chief. It’s a serious matter due to which we are giving it attention, he continued.
The ex-PM remained silent over questions regarding Chief Minister of Punjab Shahbaz Sharif’s ‘alien statement’ and matter of former Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar.
He said that he will not take a step back on the issue of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) chairman.
The three-time premier said how much worse can things get now, adding that such situations did not even occur during dictatorships.
We have called a meeting of the party’s central executive committee today to discuss the issue, the Pakistan Muslim League-N supremo informed.
Those who disqualified me from Parliament for life and then denied me from party presidency should think about what they are doing to the country.
Nawaz also said that he spoke with Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi yesterday about the ongoing situation in the country.
Sharing a story, Nawaz said an SP in Rajanpur once admonished a constable over poor cleanliness, saying he would be transferred for laxity. “The constable shot back saying his superior can do as he pleases since there is no police station after Rajanpur and no rank below constable,” Nawaz added.
