ISLAMABAD: Taking notice of the recent statements against the former Army chief, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Sunday prohibited all Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) leaders from giving any controversial statement about General (retd) Raheel Sharif, state-run Radio Pakistan tweeted on Sunday.
“PM Nawaz Sharif takes notice of the statements against Gen (retd) Raheel Sharif,” Radio Pakistan tweeted.
“Nawaz Sharif prohibits PML-N leaders from giving any controversial statements about General (retd) Raheel Sharif,” read another tweet.
“The entire nation pays tribute to Gen (retired) Raheel Sharif for his meritorious services,” a third tweet quoted the prime minister as saying.
These directions have emerged days after PML-N leader and Governor Sindh Muhammad Zubair called Raheel Sharif “just another general” who should not be made larger than life.
