ISLAMABAD: Awami Muslim League Chief Sheikh Rasheed said that former prime minister Nawaz Sharif challenged the judiciary said in a statement issued on Tuesday.
Reacting to Nawaz’s first press conference after returning to the country, Rasheed remarked that Nawaz has put the final nail in the coffin of his political career.
“I have no other option but to say that Pakistan’s Constitution and Nawaz Sharif cannot work together,” he added.
During the press conference, Nawaz Sharif shared all his disappointments with the people, said Rasheed, adding “Nation knows that Nawaz’s press conference was against the army and the judiciary.”
They [Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz] are scared of naming the army. They don’t know that Pakistan Army is standing with the judiciary, he added.
Nawaz is treating the NA-120 by-poll as a test. “If you are so keen on taking tests then please test the entire country and see what people have to say about you," he added.
