‘Nawaz’s rally was against institutions’

Author: inp

SUKKUR: Leader of the Opposition in National Assembly Khursheed Shah on Monday lashed out at Nawaz Sharif for staging a rally “against state institutions”. Addressing an event, Shah recalled the occasion when Benazir Bhutto and Asif Zardari were removed from office.

“Nawaz and Shehbaz played a big role in disqualifying Shaheed Benazir Bhutto and Asif Zardari, do they not remember that time?” he remarked.

“When we were trying to abolish Articles 62, 63, Nawaz Sharif had ‘conspiracy’ on his mind,” Shah alleged, adding, “Nawaz was thinking of applying those articles against Zardari in the memo scandal.” Taking aim at the PML-N’s rally, Shah claimed it cost “at least Rs 40-50 crore”. “Mian sahib, be silent now. Come back when you are restored,” the opposition leader advised the former prime minister.
