| Sharif a puppet in hands of Nisar, says Hashmi |
| 2012-08-12 |
| ISLAMABAD - Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) President Javed Hashmi has accused Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif of being a puppet in the hands of Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan. Addressing a Press conference in Multan ostensibly to rebut Nisar’s allegations against Imran Khan, Hashmi said Nisar is causing harm to Pakistan and his own party. “Chaudhry Nisar is responsible for the imposition of martial law in the past and he was also against the nuclear tests,” Hashmi said. Hashmi quit the PML-N after nearly two decades of affiliations to join the PTI. Repeating the allegations levelled against Sharif by PTI Chairman Imran Khan just a few days ago, Hashmi said Sharif did not take to the court the writer of the book which contained these allegations. He said that the PML-N, a party to which he had dedicated a long part of his political career before switching to the PTI, is now ‘surrounded’ by pretenders. He added that Sharif has been entrapped by members who had left the party in difficult times and are now acting as party’s front men. He said that Nisar was one of eight people along with Khawaja Asif, Ishaq Dar and Pervez Rashid who sought pardon from the military regime. |
