LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) leader Khawaja Saad Rafique said that the ruling party had the choice to remove the Articles 62 and 63 (Sadiq and Ameen) of the Constitution but it did not, adding that if it had the opposition would have cried the move was aimed at hiding corruption on Sunday.

The PML-N leaders were addressing a press conference, where he said that the party has faced a lot of allegations, including being called a mafia.

He said that the Articles 62 and 63 turned out to be 582B of the Constitution, which was taken out.

Saad said that the Articles should now be applied to everyone especially in the influential spheres.

“If you send one Sharif home we will bring second, then will bring third and so forth,” said Saad.

While criticising Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leader Imran Khan, Saad said that no new faces are with the rival party’s leader.

“All the looters and notorious people are flanking you (Imran Khan),” said Saad

He also said that the PTI’s candidate for PM’s post Sheikh Rasheed alleged that judges of the apex court were offered billions but didn’t accept. Saad said that someone should ask Rasheed on what basis he passed such comments.

He said that his party will not adopt the politics of hatred towards opponents, adding that eventually the PTI chief will have to approach the PML-N.

Saad has said that his party has demonstrated patience and calmness over every issue.

He said that the PML-N and Sharif family extended full cooperation to Joint Investigation Team (JIT) during investigation process. Saad said that the court didn’t take any action over the issue of photo leak.
