LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Ahsan Iqbal on Thursday expressed his regrets over the imprisonment of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif and said that it is unfortunate to see Nawaz, who made Pakistan an atomic power, behind the bars.
Speaking to the media outside the Kot Lakhpat Jail, the former minister said that it is unfortunate that a leader like Nawaz Sharif, who brought China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) home, was ousted from his office.
He said that “there is no leadership crisis as both the party’s leaders [Nawaz and Shehbaz] are in the country” and added that “the entire leadership is in touch with the party”.
“The popularity of the party is skyrocketing,” Iqbal claimed.
The seasoned politician asserted that the “people of Pakistan have realised that except for the anti-Nawaz rhetoric, the government has nothing to offer to them”.
“Our party has decided to give substantial time to the incumbent government so that people can know that their leader [Imran Khan] is a liar,” said the PML-N leader.
Iqbal further claimed that “Imran Khan claimed about the plundered money which was not proved in all three [assets-beyond-means and money laundering] references”.
“Throughout the history, no prime minister has left his office with dignity,” he lamented, adding that “those who voted in favour of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) are praying for the government to go home”.
