Nawaz appreciates govt’s step on suspending NATO supplies

Sharif says govt’s decision to suspend Nato supplies and ask the US to vacate the Shamsi Air Base is a good step.

LAHORE:

Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N)’s President Nawaz Sharif said that until there is an apology for Nato’s attack in Mohmand Agency, supply lines should remain suspended.

While talking to journalists at columnist Ataul Haq Qasmi’s residence, Sharif said the government’s decision to suspend Nato supplies and ask the US to vacate the Shamsi Air Base is a good step. If we want to stop martial law in the country, then such incidents should be probed and stopped, he said.

The opposition leader also appreciated the government’s step to boycott the Bonn Conference.

Defending his memogate petition in Supreme Court, he said the PML-N understands that it is a direct attack on the country’s sovereignty.
