Imran, Zardari two names of same coin: Nawaz Sharif

SANGLA HILL: Former premier and Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) supreme leader Nawaz Sharif on Sunday while taking an aim at PPP co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari and PTI chief Imran Khan said they are two names of the same coin.

Addressing a public rally here, Sharif said his party had delivered on the promises it made to the public.

Lashing out at PTI, he said its senators voted for PPP’s Saleem Mandviwala for Senate deputy chairman office.

The PML-N supreme leader said Zardari and Imran were doing traditional politics and could not serve the country.

He said the people of Sangla Hill had also rejected his disqualification by turning out in such a large numbers to attend the rally. “I was not ousted for committing any corruption but for not receiving salary from his son’s UAE-based company,” he added.

Maryam Nawaz, daughter of the former premier, assailing an alleged undeclared alliance between PPP and PML-N during election for Senate chairman and deputy chairman, said they both forged an alliance out of fear of the growing popularity of her party.

She asked the crowd to chant slogan Imran-Zardai Bhai Bhai (Imran, Zardari are brothers).

Referring to the upcoming general elections, Maryam said as the time to make decision was drawing near, the faces of conspirators had been unveiled.

“Vipers hidden in democracy’s bosom have come out,” she said, adding that they had made it easy for the people to make decision while exercising their right to franchise.
