KARACHI - Pakistan People’s Party on Friday said that the former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was trying to derail the democratic system but his efforts would go in vain.
This was stated in a joint statement issued from PPP Media Cell by former Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf, PPPP Central Secretary Information Nafisa Shah, and Sindh General Secretary Waqar Mehdi. They said that Nawaz Sharif wanted to derail democracy so that the probe against his corrupt activities could be halted but PPP would not let that happen.
Raja Pervez Ashraf said that if any decision is given in the favour of Nawaz Sharif then they applaud the judiciary but in case of any decision against them, they smell a conspiracy in it.
“While calling for a conspiracy why they forget that they themselves are involved in hatching conspiracies against the elected governments in past,” he said adding that in past they went to courts hatching a conspiracy against the Gillani government and now in order to save their money, they are hatching conspiracy against the country and its institutions.
He said that the PPP will cleanse PML-N in next elections and the win of PPPP in upcoming Senate elections would be the first set back for the PML-N.
He also compared Nawaz Sharif and Imran Khan and said that both are different faces of a same coin and their only aim is to acquire power seat.
PPP MNA Nafeesa Shah said that it is unfortunate that the person who had worked against the constitution of the country has started posing himself as the savior of the constitution after being thrown out of the system.
“How a person who is involved in attacking courts and imprisoning journalists could give lessons of supremacy of law,” she said.
Waqar Mehdi said that Nawaz Sharif who claims of his support base in Sindh do not have enough people to welcome him at the airport on arrival in Karachi and only governor and few people were there to receive him.
“Nawaz Sharif should understand it as early as possible that his politics is buried in Sindh province and he could not even hold a small public gathering in Sindh province.”
