Nawaz labels slapping incident 'part of PTI's culture’
May 23, 2018
ISLAMABAD: Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif while weighing in on the slapping incident, in which Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s Naeemul Haque physically assaulted PML-N’s Daniyal Aziz on live television, remarked that situation is quite sad.
Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz Quaid, who was speaking to journalists before the accountability court, used the incident to launch into a tirade against the rival party, adding that this is the culture of PTI, for which its chief Imran Khan is responsible.
“One by one all hidden agendas of PTI are being exposed,” he said.
The ousted PM also questioned PTI’s performance in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. “What work has PTI done in KP? Can PTI even state one development project which is worth mentioning? PTI has done nothing but stage dharnas and follow the umpire’s finger,” he added.
Nawaz remarked that it is saddening to see that the media is being threatened. “Please remember all small things are being noted, the nation remembers everything.”
When asked about what people think about his statements, he said that the entire nation agrees with his statements.
The PML-N Quaid also shared that he will address the party rally at 5pm today.
