Training its guns with full force at the establishment, agencies and the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) on the third day of a series of consultative meetings, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) said on Saturday that PTI Chairman Imran Khan, being President Asif Ali Zardari’s “chessman”, was trying to make “PML-Q Part II” by embracing dissidents of both Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and the PML-Quaid at the behest of the agencies. The PML-N also warned the agencies against putting on a “political puppet show”, saying the results would be catastrophic. In a high-level meeting held in Model Town on Saturday, PML-N President Nawaz Sharif said if anyone tried to impose martial law, the nation would resist. He said the one who was raising a slogan of change did not know the meaning of change. “I know the meaning of change. I also know how it is brought and what price is paid,” he added. During meeting with lawmakers and party workers hailing from Faisalabad, he expressed deep concern at the role of the agencies and their steps to introduce a new game plan At the meeting, he also reconciled MNA Abid Sher Ali and Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah and told both leaders to work in harmony to make the Faisalabad rally on November 23 a success. Later, National Assembly Opposition Leader Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan held a press conference and said he would bring the issue of the “ongoing puppet show” to parliament to unmask the conspiracy. “We have sound evidence about secret agencies’ hands in the game and are ready to present them before the government and the army. It is now an open secret as Interior Minister Rehman Malik and PML-Q President Chaudhry Shujaat Hussein have also hinted about it,” he said. Nisar challenged Imran Khan that if he had any proof against the Sharifs, he should bring it to court. He said the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) was used against the Sharifs on political grounds. Now the Lahore High Court had given a decision in favour of the Sharifs and fined NAB Rs 1.5 million, which the PML-N had decided to spend on welfare projects, Nisar claimed. He said Nawaz Sharif did not talk about the PTI and Imran Khan. He said over the last several weeks, specific people had been inducted into the PTI to form “PML-Q Part II”.
