PML-N to consult all parties for the interim setup: Nawaz Sharif

Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Nawaz Sharif has announced that his party would take all parties on board including those which are not holding seats in parliament for an interim setup.

The former two-time prime minister of the country while speaking to the media said that new constitutional amendments imply that all political parties should hold negotiations for setting up a caretaker government.

While replying to a query about competition of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) in the upcoming elections, he observed, “The Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP) has always given us a tough time, it is still doing so. But when the elections come and every party comes face-to-face with each other, then the truth will come out. We will also give a tough time to those who are planning to give us a tough time,” he added”.

Moreover, the PML-N leader said that he will be leaving for Sindh on Thursday to make an alliance with Sindh United Party (SUP) for the upcoming polls. Despite the PML-N single-handedly contested elections in the past, they have inducted a lot of good personalities from Sindh, he added.

Nawaz Sharif reposed his faith over the newly appointed Chief Election Commission (CEC) Justice (Retd) Fakhruddin G Ebrahim, saying that the renowned jurist was an upright man with a respected personality.

In his view, a personality like Fakhruddin will neither be against nor in favor of any party in the elections.

He noted, “It is very good for Pakistan that he has been elected. Now, the prospects of free and fair elections have gone up”.

Replying to a query about the NRO (National Reconciliation Ordinance) (NRO), he said that the apex court had the complete authority of getting its rulings implemented.

He made it clear that losing even 10 prime ministers was not a big deal if any government, even theirs, does not comply with rulings of the court.
