Minister for Defence Production Rana Tanveer Hussain has said Kalsoom Nawaz had a long political struggle as she had played an active role in politics during Musharraf regime and kept Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) united.
Kalsoom Nawaz was a strong candidate for NA-120 by-election and she would win the election, he hoped while talking to a private news channel.
To a question, he said former prime minister Nawaz Sharif wanted all political parties to sit together to resolve prevailing issues. He said Kalsoom Nawaz was a political woman and was the most suitable candidate for NA-120 seat. He said there was no rift in the party and all decisions were being taken with consensus of the party leadership, however he said everyone had the right of difference of opinion and it was the beauty of democracy.
Speaking to a private TV channel, State Minister Talal Chaudhry said that there was no evidence of corruption against Nawaz Sharif. He said that a review petition has been submitted before the court as justice was not served to the Sharif family, and added that the review petition was a request of the Pakistani nation. “People supported Nawaz Sharif in his GT Road Rally,” he said. He added that PML-N hoped that justice would be served.
