Nawaz is a puppet in Chaudhry Nisar's hands, claims Javed Hashmi

The Express Tribune

Continuing with the diatribe against the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) President Javed Hashmi accused PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif of being a puppet in the hands of Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan. Addressing a press conference in Multan on Friday, Hashmi added that Nisar is causing harm to Pakistan and his own party. “Chaudhry Nisar is responsible for the imposition of martial law in the past and he was also against the nuclear tests,” Hashmi said. Repeating the allegations levelled against Nawaz by PTI Chairman Imran Khan just a few days ago, Hashmi questioned why doesn’t he take the writer, who accused him of corruption, to court? Hashmi said that the PML-N, a party to which he had dedicated a long part of his political career before switching to the PTI, is now ‘surrounded’ by pretenders. He added that Nawaz has been enveloped by members who had left the party in difficult times and are now acting as party’s frontmen. Praising himself for fighting for the supremacy of the judiciary, Hashmi alleged that both “Bhutto and Nawaz Sharif had always tried to usurp its rights.”
