Entire PML-N stands by Nawaz Sharif: Rana Sanaullah

LAHORE: A particular lobby is targeting PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif in order to defame him, but the entire party stands by him, said Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah on Thursday. “Nawaz Sharif’s comments on [Mumbai attacks] have been misinterpreted by Indian media. He only talked about non-state actors,” Sanaullah said, adding people of Pakistan were aware of these issues. “Identifying non-state actors cannot be called a confrontation,” he said, referring to Chaudhry Nisar’s statement. The provincial minister recalled that it was Nawaz Sharif who had made Pakistan a nuclear power. “People such as Owaiz Muzaffar Tappi have been given clean chit by the NAB. If they are clean than who is corrupt in this country?” he wondered. The law minister urged NAB Chairman Javed Iqbal to take notice of clean chit being given to corrupt elements in Sindh. To a question, he said that NAB should respect the parliament.He said that PML-N would make a decision on awarding of tickets for the general elections in Ramzan. “It is important to hold timely and transparent elections. PML-N will emerge as victorious after defeating aliens,” he added.

Inside story of PML-N?s parliamentary huddle

LAHORE: The parliamentary party of the ruling PML-N met for the first time on Thursday after Nawaz Sharif’s recent interview which has stirred up a controversy in Pakistan.PML-N President Mian Shehbaz Sharif preside over the meeting to take stock of the present political situation, upcoming general elections and awarding of tickets. According to sources privy to the meeting, Nawaz Sharif’s comments about the Mumbai terrorist attacks came under discussion. “Four to five members of the party have described Nawaz Sharif’s remarks as inappropriate,” a source told Geo TV. “Who arranged the controversial interview?” asked Shehbaz Sharif, adding that whoever did it was the biggest enemy of Nawaz Sharif. Sources further said that the party also voiced reservations about the now-withdrawn amendments in Khatm-e-Nubawat election declaration, saying the move had damaged the party. In the interview with a local English daily, Mr Sharif said: “We have isolated ourselves. Despite giving sacrifices, our narrative is not being accepted. Afghanistan’s narrative is being accepted, but ours is not. We must look into it.” “Militant organisations are active in Pakistan. Call them non-state actors, should we allow them to cross the border and kill over 150 people in Mumbai? Explain it to me. Why can’t we complete the trial,” Sharif said.The remarks drew an angry response from National Security Committee and all major opposition groups including PPP and PTI.PPP leader Sherry Rehman, in a press conference, called for the former prime minister to retract his remarks or issue a clarification.PTI leader Imran Khan that Nawaz Sharif was speaking Modi’s language .“Nawaz Sharif is the modern-day Mir Jafar, who collaborated with the British to enslave his nation for personal gains. Nawaz speaking Modi's language against Pak State simply to protect his ill-gotten Rs 300b stashed in his sons companies abroad,” Khan tweeted.In a hurriedly-called meeting, National Security Committee rejected Sharif’s comments as baseless and contrary to facts.
