‘More divisions within PML-N to surface soon’

Nawaz Sharif’s narrative aims at creating uncertainty and chaos, says Shibli Faraz

ISLAMABAD:

Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Senator Shibli Faraz on Sunday said that Nawaz Sharif’s narrative was aimed at creating uncertainty and chaos in the country.

Speaking to reporters, he said that PML-N Quaid’s "revolutionary" stance was a fake and based upon double standards, adding that voices were being raised on Nawaz’s narrative within his own party.

Some of PML-N members understood that their leader was using them for his personal interests, Shibli said, adding that there were good people in PML-N too.

The minister said that Sharif family was also facing certain issues and quoted Sheikh Rashid who had remarked that more divisions within ranks of PML-N would soon come to fore.

Shibli added that the political movement of PML-N was baseless and without any solid reason as they only wanted to create chaos which was now evident in PML-N itself.

“Under such circumstances, what would be the moral value of PML-N's activities,” he said.

Shibli Faraz alleged that the noose was being tightened on PML-N leadership due to NAB cases. He said that in this situation, the opposition was making efforts to blackmail the government and threatening to tender resignations from the assemblies.

"If they resign, the government will hold by-elections and get majority in the house which will also prove beneficial for legislation," the minister added.

He said that opposition was using various tactics to dislodge the government, but they would fail in their designs.

In his statement, Shibli added that PML-N was looking for a deal and making contacts constantly with the government officials.

“After failing to frustrate Financial Action Task Force (FATF) related legislation, now the opposition wanted to come on streets,” he added.

The minister said that PML-N leaders had always done politics of nepotism because they had been in the politics for increasing their own assets.

Shibli Faraz said that due to various initiatives of the government, economic stability was being achieved in the country and upheld that Prime Minister Imran Khan was committed to accountability of all the corrupt elements.

Replying to a question, he said that PML-N’s "organisation campaign" was in full swing in Faisalabad, referring to Talal Chaudhry incident.
