ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader and former premier Nawaz Sharif on Friday said that he would take to the streets if the present scheme of things continued.
Talking to the media outside the accountability court, he said, “I do not want that a situation is created where I have to give a call to people. If a situation arises, I will give a call to the people whether I am in jail or anywhere else and no one can stop me from doing so.”
Taking on the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari, Nawaz said that Zardari should focus on getting votes before making tall claims of installing a chief minister in Punjab.
Earlier on Thursday, CJP Nisar said he would resign from his position if he could not stop the imposition of martial law in the country.
Speaking at a Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) event, the country’s top judge had urged the masses to trust him and promised his loyalty in return. He asserted that he would try to resist martial law even if he was alone in doing so.
“If I am unable to resist martial law then I will pack up and go home, but would not endorse it,” he said.
