Nawaz Sharif is PML-N’s leader, says Sadiq

LAHORE: Speaker National Assembly Sardar Ayaz Sadiq remarked on Sunday that former prime minister Nawaz Sharif is the leader of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N).

Speaking to media in Samanabad, “We [PML-N] have just one leader and Nawaz is the leader.”

“Whenever I speak about the prime minister, the name of Nawaz Sharif slips from my mouth,” he remarked.

“Nawaz Sharif will return back and face everything.”

Chief Minister Punjab Shehbaz Sharif is the next leader after Nawaz, he said, adding the leadership will decide who will head the party.

On former interior minister Chaudhry Nisar, Sadiq remarked that Nisar had told him that he is only faithful to PML-N and Nawaz Sharif is its head.

Nisar was with Nawaz, the day the court announced disqualification of the prime minister.

Speaking about former president Pervez Musharraf controversy, he said that Musharraf was army chief and president. “Why didn’t he think of all of this?”

Electoral Reforms 2017 have been passed in both Senate and National Assembly, he added.

All the underway construction projects will be completed immediately, the politician assured the people in Samanabad.
