ISLAMABAD: Disgruntled Pakistan Muslim League-
Nawaz (PML-N) leader Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan has said that Maryam Nawaz’s sharp tongue is pushing the party into a narrow alley.
The veteran politician, who has been associated with the Pakistan Muslim League-
Nawaz (PML-N) for over three decades, was reacting to an earlier
statement by
Nawaz Sharif and his daughter Maryam.
“I have been fo
rced to give a response to the terms used and poetry recited by
Nawaz Sharif and his daughter’s
statement,” Nisar said in a
statement released on Thursday evening, adding that he had exercised a lot of patien
ce and tolerance in the situations and circumstances that had arisen in the past year.
“If you [Nawaz] granted favours to people, many people must have also done the same to you,” he said. “You should be aware of that and be grateful for it.”
“I have tried not to give any reaction that may harm the party,” he said.
Discussing a change in his political direction, Nisar said that he had parted ways from national politics to a large extent, limiting himself to his constituency’s politics.
The former minister expressed regret that he had been the target of personal attacks originating from a very specific source agencies.
