PM must have pleaded with CJP to save Nawaz: Imran

 

QUETTA: PTI Chief Imran Khan on Thursday lashed out at the prime minister's recent meeting with Chief Justice of Pakistan Mian Saqib Nisar.

Addressing a joint press conference in Quetta with Chief Minister Abdul Qudoos Bizenjo, Imran alleged that Prime Minister Shahid Abbasi must have 'pleaded' with the Justice Nisar to save his party leader Nawaz Sharif.     

"I am sure PM Abbasi must have pleaded in the United States too, to save Nawaz," Imran said. 

Speaking about the recently held elections for the positions of Senate chairman and deputy chairman, Imran said a strategy was formed to not let candidates of Pakistan Muslim League - Nawaz (PML-N) and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) be elected for the coveted positions. 

"Nawaz Sharif started horse trading in Pakistan," he said.

Bizenjo warns to protest against PM's statement against Sanjrani

Balochistan Chief Minister Abdul Qudoos Bizenjo, in the joint press conference, threatened to lead a protest march toward the capital city upon Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi's failure to retract his earlier statement about recently-elected Senate Chairman Sadiq Sanjrani.

While addressing an inauguration ceremony in Lahore on March 24, Prime Minister Abbasi had urged the members of the opposition to jointly nominate a new Senate chairman, alleging that Sanjrani held no respect as votes were bought in his favour.

Speaking at the press conference, Biznejo said: "The entire Balochistan is shocked over Abbasi's irresponsible statement about the Senate chairman. With Nawaz's ouster, we hoped that the Prime Minister Secretariat would be open for the people of Balochistan but that is not the case."

CM Bizenjo said that the prime minister has hurt the people of his province through an earlier statement.
