Soon will disclose names of characters behind 2014 sit-in: Nawaz

ISLAMABAD: Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif on Wednesday said there were several characters behind 2014 sit-in and soon I will reveal their names.

"Imran Khan and Tahirul Qadri are among those characters, I will disclose names of other characters when the time comes," he said while talking to media at the Accountability Court (AC) which has been hearing corruption references against him.

"PTI neither has a character nor any ideology, this is a party which use filthy language and indulges in mudslinging," he remarked when a reporter told him that Imran Khan's party has rejected his suggestion to form a national commission.

"PTI is a party which always fixes its eyes on umpire's finger, Tehreek-e-Insaf is a party which is only interested in staging dharnas, it has no trust in the slogan of "vote ko Izzat do" (honour the vote), he further added.

On a query regarding Imran Khan's slogan of tabdeeli (change), the former premier said PTI has no stance regarding respecting the vote. People of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) have seen the so-called change that Imran wanted to bring.

Reacting to Nawaz Sharif's statement, Naeemul Haq, PTI spokesman, said Sharif's himself has dubious character and has no right to discuss others.

He said 200 million people of Pakistan were behind the 2014 sit in. "It was evident from people's participation that the sit-in was popular, and reflected people's sentiments.
