Asghar Khan case: Nawaz rejects Younus Habib’s charges
Sharif says that the PPP-led coalition government should announce schedule for the next elections to end uncertainty.
PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif has said that it is the first time that an elected government is completing its constitutional term.
“I’m not against the army, I remain its well-wisher, but I do have complaints against some generals,” Nawaz told Geo TV in an interview on Friday.
He said that the PPP-led coalition government should announce schedule for the next elections to end uncertainty.
About the Asghar Khan case, the PML-N chief said, “It’s strange that Younus Habib remembers our names, but when he is asked about Pakistan Peoples Party, he says he can’t recall who he gave money to.”
Nawaz brushed aside allegations of Habib, that he had given money to the Sharifs. “We actually fired him when the PML-N formed the government in 1990 and made sure that Habib did not become the chief executive of Mehran Bank.”
General Pervez Musharraf also doled out public money to win support of politicians, but the army cannot be held responsible for mistakes and adventurism of some generals.
