Sindh Information Minister Sharjeel Memon said on Friday that Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) leaders are reluctant to appear on TV talk shows when there is a chance that the debate will cover the exile deal struck by the Sharifs with Pervez Musharraf.
Talking to reporters in his office, Memon said that the leaders of PML-N have told TV anchors over the phone that they would not attend any programme where Sharjeel Memon is present, because he always shows up with copies of the deal signed by Nawaz Sharif.
The PML-N was at first not even willing to accept that there ever was a plea bargain. But, now when the copies of the deal are being shown to the PML-N leaders, they are reluctant to face the fact that “their captain chose to desert the ship instead of facing trials and persecutions” like other party workers.

Its because your too politically immature to be with on television.
Instead of justifying the achievements of the present government such as price hike, energy crises, extortion in Karachi, increase of Bhatta Mafias, land grabbers etc, he makes the public fool by debating the old issues.
@ Bitter Truth:
Nawaz rule was not that democratic in Sindh. He had suspended the elected assembly of Sindh and imposed governor rule. And mind you it was not like the governor rule in Punjab since in Sindh the law and order was handed over entirely to rangers ensuing in a total apartheid in Sindh, withholding of funds and a general breakdown of Constitutional order.
@Bitter Truth: Precisely! That is why we say there is no difference between status quo parties like PPP and PML.Noora. Vote for PTI and vote for Imran Khan for putting Pakistan back on the track for prosperity and growth! !!!
So whats the difference between Benazir and Nawaz Sharif. NS signed a deal to go out while BB signed the deal to come in the country and to get her corrupt husband released.
Yes...........he went to Jeddah, and there is little justification which can be given. But he went during a dictators regime, can memon tell us why BB left Pakistan during ademcratc regime only to return back to Pakistan after a decade and after signing the deal with the same dictator.
So-called lions, well done Sharjeel.
