Nawaz was speaking during a joint press conference with Jamhoori Watan Party (JWP) leader Talal Bugti in Raiwind.
Commenting on Qadri being an establishment’s pawn or a foreign agent, Nawaz said he is not sure about any of the claims but is suspicious about the intentions behind staging a political show at a time when the nation is looking towards a transition from one democratic setup to another.
MQI chief had given an ultimatum to the government to get things fixed in early January or he will lead a “million march” to the federal capital.
Qadri has been criticised right, left and centre for his stance and the timing of his return to Pakistan.
Bugti, while addressing the media, said Qadri is in Pakistan to sabotage the upcoming elections.
The JWP leader, regarding his party’s plans in the upcoming elections, said his party will align with PML-N and contest elections from Punjab.
He said he will be in Islamabad in the next few days for Supreme Court’s hearing of missing persons’ case and will arrange another extensive meeting with Nawaz to discuss in detail their strategy for the future.

both are fake leaders.
@Shakir Baloch If you can speak on behalf of all the balochs I have every right to do so..! & We all know who was brought up in Zia's lap & is backed by establishment... BTW ask Nawaz to atleast once visit the Awaam of Balochistan before claiming to b our saviour..!
NS probably thinks he can easily water-down the national desire for Superiority of the Pak Constitution with his charming speeches. I feel he has real fears of the success of Qadri which he don't feel in-case of the extremists. Well, polished and clever politicians is what public is tired of, aren't they? Don't he see why people are gathering around IK? They don't trust experienced-in-all-tricks political leaders.
I wonder why Chief of PMLn never recommended the Talibans or other Extremists to become part of Political & Democratic process, neither did he ever denounced their violent activities. To me, he should put all his wait behind Qadri while he can, or he will be only one voting for himself and of-course few small lost groups.@Baloch Insafian: show your true identity. don't speak for all balochis. you idiots PTI backed by dirty establishment has done all the wrong in our area.
@Shakir Baloch Baloch r not fool to re-elect these goons who have destroyed Balochistan to its core.. For us PTI is the only hope..!
@Skin Taj: I like the way you think-worth a plan.
In elections votes are counted and recounted but in long marches and gatherings few thousand can become millions. Its easier to fool pay masters in this way.
*Another OPTION: Make Chief Justice ..President or someone like him... some other good one as prime minister........CARETAKER GOVERNMENT under ARMY for 2-3 years...... ALL POLITICIANS & BUREAUCRATs,and if any General, are brought to accountability and justice.....CORRUPT ones are HANGED TO DEATH..... and then FAIR ELECTIONS !!!!!!!!!*
Mr Sharif should protest against non Baloch specially Punjabi killings in Balochistan rather then having a joint press conference with Talal Bugtti
@Karim:
Quit being a follower of Ustad Tabla Master's school of enlightened moderation. Tala Bugti is a Pakistani just like anyone else and a national leader of the calibre of NS can sit beside Bugti for a press conference anywhere and anytime.
@Shakir Baloch.: U don't speak for all Balochis!!!!
@Zaffar: so now the elections have already become muk muka. excuses from Tsunami start today. good luck boys
@Shakir Baloch That's why Balouchistan is still road-less even after NS got PM 2 times.
NS looks like the only one who understand the balochistan problems. we baloch stand by nawaz shareef and PML(N). unlike the establishment backed PTI and now Qadri.
You mean in "your Muk-Muka" elections!!!!

look with whom NS is doing press conference. As far as my memory guides me, Mr. Talal Bugti is the only person who visits him often for unknown reasons.
