SUKKUR: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) senior leader Khursheed Shah on Tuesday once again hinted that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif had returned to the country via a backdoor deal and urged him not to come to “save Pakistan” through such a method.
The former opposition leader in the National Assembly, while talking to the media in Sukkur, urged Nawaz to “save the country but not become anyone’s tool” in the process.
“I will appeal to Nawaz Sharif to save Pakistan but not come to [power] with anyone’s help,” said Shah.
The PPP leader added that his party’s “clear stance” was that the elections were not being held in the country within 90 days to accommodate Nawaz Sharif.
“Nawaz Sharif should clearly announce that he is back and elections should now be held. If Nawaz Sharif comes via the wrong path, he will also be remembered in history as [selected],” said Shah.
On October 21, the PML-N supremo landed in Pakistan — ending a four-year self-imposed exile in London — and addressed a massive power show at the Minar-e-Pakistan in Lahore. –Agencies
