N to finalise ‘budget protest’

ISLAMABAD - Main Opposition party PML-N would hold an important consultative meeting in Lahore on Wednesday (today) to devise strategy for public mobilisation against the Prime Minister as well as protest programmes both in and outside Parliament during the budget session, a senior PML-N leader said on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, taking notice of Imran Khan’s allegations about non-payment of taxes by PML-N Chief Nawaz Sharif during the period 2005 to 2007 asked as to how a man like PTI leader Imran Khan who has not even paid a single penny in tax could hurl allegations against others.
In a statement issued from the Opposition leader’s chamber, Ch Nisar said the Insaf League instead of bringing a tsunami of lies and accusations should come forward with truth before the nation. ‘No change will come through hollow slogans of a politically bankrupt novice like Imran Khan nor the turncoats of various political parties can provide a sound leadership to the country’, he said.
He lamented that neither Imran Khan nor the dignitaries of his rental party dared to talk about most important issues like NATO supply, unemployment and loadshedding. Criticising the PTI leader Javed Hashmi, Nisar said how a man like Hashmi who faced a humiliating defeat by a staggering 58,000 votes could challenge anyone in Rawalpindi.
‘Javed Hashmi s presence in National Assembly since 1993 had been due to the courtesy of Nawaz Sharif’, he added.
