| [DAWN] Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaf ...a political party in Pakistan. PTI was founded by former Pakistani cricket captain and philanthropist Imran Khan. The party's slogan is Justice, Humanity and Self Esteem, each of which is open to widely divergent interpretations.... (PTI) front man, Naeemul Haq, on Sunday alleged Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif ... served two non-consecutive terms as prime minister, heads the Pakistain Moslem League (Nawaz). Noted for his spectacular corruption, the 1998 Pak nuclear test, border war with India, and for being tossed by General Musharraf... lied about his recent open-heart surgery. In an interview with DawnNews, Naeemul Haq said, "Nawaz Sharif lied about his illness and released a false statement from there [London]. There was no doctor's name and no open-heart surgery." "We have received lots of information from doctors in London," he claimed. When asked whether this was the PTI's official stance, Naeemul Haq said, "This is the case according to my knowledge." The PTI front man was of the opinion that the premier "wants to hide wrongdoings that were exposed by the Panama leaks" and that "Nawaz Sharif is the only danger to democracy." "For three months, he has fooled the people on the Panama issue," he added. The PTI front man said the party along with other opposition parties had, after a number of discussions, agreed on two points: that the Panama leaks should be investigated and that corruption must end. A PM House spokesperson said they were not aware of Naeemul Haq's allegations and did not offer a comment on the matter. Nawaz Sharif underwent open-heart surgery at a London hospital on May 31. The need for the surgery arose after the premier went through a cardiac procedure called Atrial Fibrillation Ablation in 2011, during which certain complications occurred resulting in perforation of heart, Maryam Nawaz earlier told the media. |
