Leader of the Muslim League (N) and newly elected President Nawaz Sharif has said that today’s decision regarding Saqib Nisar has been thrown in the trash. Those who had decided to dismiss Nawaz Sharif permanently have been humiliated today.
Addressing the party’s general council meeting, he said that Saqib Nisar had removed me from the party presidency for life. Today, people have thrown Saqib Nisar’s decision in the trash. Those who had decided to dismiss Nawaz Sharif permanently have been humiliated today, but today Nawaz Sharif stands before you once again.
He said, “What decision was also made against me? To not take a salary from my son?” I did not take a salary from my son. You did not ask for a salary from your son either?”
Nawaz Sharif said that attempts were made to create rifts between him and Shehbaz Sharif. It is commendable on Shehbaz Sharif’s part that he did not bow down or betray and stood by his brother. I am proud of my brother. Shehbaz Sharif was told to leave Nawaz Sharif and become the Prime Minister, I testify that Shehbaz said that he will not take a ministerial position in which he had to betray his brother. They went to jail, but did not say a word until then.
Nawaz Sharif congratulated his daughter Maryam Nawaz and said that Maryam spent time in jail, made the party active and passed every test. I commend Hamza Shehbaz that he went to jail with courage and was not imprisoned until now. Shahid Khaqan Abbasi spent time in jail with me and was not imprisoned until now.
He said that in 1990, when the government was formed and I became the Prime Minister, if those who plotted against me did not come in between, there would have been no poverty and unemployment here, what were the prices of things in 2017 and what are they now?
