Chaudhry Nisar says won't serve under leadership of Maryam Nawaz

TAXILA: Estranged Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan on Saturday said that he is willing to serve under the leadership of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and his brother Shehbaz Sharif but he couldn’t work under Maryam Nawaz.

Addressing a press conference here, the former interior minister cleared his stance that he wasn’t a “political orphan” to cave in to call a junior as “Sir” or “Madam”.

However, he dispelled a chance of making a forward bloc in the party.

Coming on anti-judiciary rant, Nisar said he had advised the party leaders to exercise restraint in making reaction against the judiciary after the Supreme Court’s landmark July 28 verdict. “My advices were not taken into consideration,” he lamented.

He said he has been awaiting PML-N’s Central Executive Committee meeting on the Dawn Leaks.

On the occasion, he also discussed the internal rifts within the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) and expressed concerns over the current situation in the city.

“MQM-P leadership should resolve the issues within the party,” he added.
