PML-N accepts 4-3 SC ruling in suo motu case: Nawaz

Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Quaid Nawaz Sharif said on Thursday that his party only acknowledged the 4-3 decision of the Supreme Court and not the 3-2 ruling in the suo motu case about the election for the Punjab assembly.

The former prime minister, in a media interaction, said that he had met with some financial experts from China and Britain to discuss the economic challenges being faced by Pakistan.

Nawaz also commented on the use of a wheelchair by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan, saying that those who once ridiculed rivals on account of illness were themselves in the wheelchair.

Nawaz’s remarks were echoed in a statement by Information Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb, saying that Imran’s use of a wheelchair to skip court cases, was a “divine retribution” because, in past, he used to ridicule others for their diseases.

She said a person who made fun of the Sharif’s family members’ illnesses was “lying in a wheelchair today”. She asked the PTI chairman to appear in the courts instead of indulging in the blame game.

She said that Imran had constantly been changing his get-up and script according to the situation. “Imran is in fear of bail cancellation, and is using a wheelchair as a tactic. If the court calls him, he has the excuses of plaster, disability, canister and now wheelchair.

Aurangzeb said that first, Imran played a dirty game of cypher, then apologised to the US and blamed the then army chief, Gen (retd) Qamar Javed Bajwa, after than Asif Zardari and now Mohsin Naqvi for his ouster.
