ISLAMABAD: Senior leader of Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), Aitzaz Ashan has said that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Quaid, Nawaz Sharif was backstabbed after being called back from London.

Talking to media persons in Islamabad on Saturday, he said that PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif and party leaders deceived the party supremo as he was met with the same treatment that Mir Jaffar gave Siraj-ud-Daula in the battle of Plassey.

He said that he has never seen the scenes observed on the occasion of the return of Nawaz and Maryam on Friday, adding that the political role of the PML-N supremo will be adversely affected after being jailed. “Maryam can do nothing without her father even if she is released on bail,” he further stated.

Aitzaz said that of the 18 former MNAs of PML-N and 38 party candidates for the general election 2018, not a single person reached to welcome Nawaz. “The PML-N leaders intentionally kept them away of the scene,” he alleged. He said that only Mushahidullah Khan was the person who showed courage to some extent and reached the airport.

“The power show of Nawaz and Maryam was a flop due to conspiracies of their own party leaders,” he said.

He further stated that PPP held hundreds of such protests and rallies and its leaders always remained at the front.

The PPP leader also said that Khawaja Saad Rafique, who had earlier made tall claims of removing all hurdles and extending a warm welcome to his party Quaid also remained missing from the scene.
