Talking to the media in Multan on Tuesday, the former Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) senior leader said that parties blaming dictators for the country’s woes, should also view Shahbaz’s behaviour in the same light, whose vision and ideology is akin to that of a dictator, who felt that he was not answerable in the assembly.
“His vision and ideology is completely based on dictatorship and he acts like a dictator as he never answers anyone in the assembly. You can verify this by asking anyone if Shahbaz has ever replied to questions in the assembly.”
Talking about the Punjab Institute of Cardiology contaminated medicines tragedy in Punjab, Hashmi said that Shahbaz should be held responsible and then the Punjab government, adding that if the Punjab Chief Minister denied responsibility then he was as responsible as the Health Minister.
Shahbaz had retained the Health Ministry, despite relinquishing eight out of the 15 ministries, recently.
“Neither has he resigned as chief minister nor as health minister,” Hashmi said.
‘MQM clout and importance cannot be ignored’
Amidst rumours regarding reconciliatory talks between the PTI and Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), Hashmi spoke about the importance of the MQM as a political force and how their clout, importance could not be ignored.
“The political importance and power of MQM cannot be ignored,” the veteran politician said, adding that negotiations and reconciliation was the beauty of politics.
Hashmi promised that the country would see major breakthroughs in the political scenario of Pakistan, brought about by the PTI.
“Before any political ideology or political party, PTI is first the voice of the people of Pakistan,” the senior leader reiterated.
‘Resolve Kashmir and water issue first’
On relations with India, the veteran politician said that trade and relations with the neighbouring country could only continue if the latter seriously resolved issues, including that of Kashmir and the water dispute.

@ hameed he has not lost nothing he got respect and appreciation of people and he was the only one in N League who has openly spoke against shareef brothers and there assets they acumilated so get your facts right and stop trying to mislead people .... salute to hashmi for standing up and leaving a establish party and come for a change ... and people like you would never open there eyes ....
s.shareef acts like a discactor'- said hashmi - unfortunately he lived with him for years and years - notion of dictator never came to his visions then - alas it came now when he lost every thing...........!
@bithe: differences are welcome in a party. would they be tolerated in N league
Mr. Hashmi, And Altaf Hussein in comparison to Shahbaz Sharif is the pinnaccle of democracy, right?
And sadly your views on Kahsmir and water disputes is 180 degree different from that of your leader IK (just hear is intreview to an TV channel anchor Thakar)
Rightly said he is dictator, arrogant and lacks the basic knowledge of administration. A good administrator is one who forms a brilliant team and then over view their wok and works in liaison. Whereas shahbaz sharif thinks he can can do everything, which is by any standards impossible. Look at the situation of the province doctors, clerks, teachers, students and even PCS officers are on and off strike during these 4 years. The law and order situation, the economic situation nothing is going in right way just because of his stubborn behavior. I do not doubt his good faith but his tactics are not good enough. He is not corrupt but the level of corruption at grass root level is sky high. The administration of Shahbaz Sharif is a myth which is about to be collapsed and yes he is eqally responsible for the death of above 100 innocent people with fake medicines.
