Nawaz links PTI's ‘long march’ to army chief’s appointment
45
KARACHI: The top leadership of PML-N on Wednesday blasted PTI Chairman Imran Khan for the ‘long march’ that he plans to launch from Lahore on Friday.
PML-N supreme leader Nawaz Sharif in a tweet said that Imran Khan’s long march is not for any revolution but is aimed at the appointment of the army chief of his choice. He said the revolution that the PTI leader is promising has already been witnessed by the nation during his four-year rule.
Nawaz Sharif said that ‘with undeniable proof of a Rs50 billion dacoity in the foreign funding and Toshakhana cases Imran Khan has proved to be the biggest thief of history’.
Separately, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif criticised the timing of the PTI chief’s march.
In a tweet, PM Shehbaz said, “Imran Niazi is playing a dangerous game. He is using tragic killing of Arshad Sharif for petty politics & going to the extent of casting aspersions on state institutions. He should be patient & wait for findings of Judicial Commission instead of resorting to baseless allegations.”

The platelets went up dramatically upon leaving Pakistan in a miraculous recovery that should be studied by medical science. But the side effect is loss of logic and senseless ranting.

Nawaz is so obsessed with power that he’s willing to make up anything to divert the attention. Y oh know what Nawaz Sharif and Asif Zardari have in common? Both are the heads of political parties that are barely regional, PTI is destroying every political party in every election so far, and that’s what keeps Nawaz, Maryam, Asif and Bilawal Zardari up every night.

So NS thinks that all this azadi March hassle is being conducted just so that IK can get the army chief of his choice? So what happens if hr doesn't get one of his choice? Is the sky gonna fall down?

@Nassir Uddin, why would people die for this man. What examples has he set for others to follow. Is he not corrupt? Are Kp and punjab corruption free after so many years in rule? Governance? Didn't he claimed for 10 years that once he is in power he will make Pakistan a pradise? This man is no more than a timeserver.

NS is the biggest thief in the history of Pakistan. Had IK been a thief his platelets would have been decreased dramatically but it seems that his platelets are in balance thereby indicating that he is not a thief. It is the second instance that NS fled the country fully humiliated and disgraced indicating thereby that something is fishy regarding the state of his affairs. Similarly, NS whole kith and kin are a ominous sign of deceit and fraud. IK is the solution for all the ills of Pakistan.
