Nawaz dismisses sit-ins as 'a small storm'
Nawaz stated that he was being asked to dissolve assemblies and do things which are not even in his power, adding that the government has accepted the demand for electoral reforms.
“The demands that were acceptable have been accepted,” he stated.
When asked what will happen if the sit-ins continue, Nawaz remarked, “You have seen how many people there are at the protests and how many chairs are empty.”
Nawaz claimed that the sit-ins have negatively impacted development projects in the country, pointing out that Maldives President Abdulla Yameen and Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa had cancelled their visits to Pakistan.

In a country of 180 million it is a "tempest in a tea pot" but the Tea Party guest seems to be quite well off. Even the media is bending over backyard. At the end of all this the role of the media in inflaming the situation should be reviewed. There is such a thing as responsible journalism.
good job pmln!! you did so much! expanded your family business, decreased gdp, increased budget deficit,opened such good schools and hospital, gave your babies siblings in laws positions in the govt on no basis and oh yes took mangoes on a pia plane illegally leading to a huge loss for pia :) your such a hero
If we are blind deaf and dumb then we should continue the course that we have pursued for 65 years.
Stay put NS. Let these cult followers fozzle out. No need for any resignation.
These small storms are gonna take you big. Oh so you're business plans didn't take off well, I suppose. #GoNawazGo
Nawaz Sharif is a pathological liar, and so are his ministers and his brother.
Charles Sobjraj of Pakistan, the Master of lies and deceit.
Dear Prime Minister. If the sit-ins were like a small storm, than what forced you to invite the Army to settle the issue. I believe the time has come that you should resign immediately and call for fresh elections
So You don't care about the people protesting for the past three weeks and consider it small and want it to spread across country?
GO NAWAZ GO Liar
