ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leader Shah Mehmood Qureshi said on Friday that Nawaz Sharif’s political narrative is more dangerous than his recent statement on the 2008 Mumbai attack.
While addressing the media in Islamabad, Shah Mehmood said that he fears that Pakistan might face sanctions from the United States on the basis of Nawaz’s remarks. He further added that the former premiere’s narrative is unacceptable within and outside the party.
The opposition leader added that there was no consensus over the name of caretaker prime minister and no consultation has been done with his party.
“If the government has a fair intention then it should work on the constitutional amendment for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA),” Shah said.
“PTI has always favoured the merger of FATA with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and it wants elections including local body polls to be held in the area,” he further added.
Earlier, Nawaz, in an interview to a local newspaper published on May 12, had said, “Militant organisations are active. Call them non-state actors, should we allow them to cross the border and kill 150 people in Mumbai? Explain it to me. Why can’t we complete the trial?”
