Speaking of the election, the former CM said that the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) and the Punjab Governor were not fulfilling their responsibilities.

Earlier this week, PML-N Senior Vice President Maryam Nawaz during her speech at the PML-N’s workers’ convention in Sargodha alleged that the ‘group of five’ includes sitting and former Supreme Court judges and the former Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) chief, Lt Gen (Retd) Faiz Hameed for the country’s current woes.

She, while addressing the convention, asked PM Shehbaz Sharif not to worry about the remnants of Faiz Hameed and held them accountable. She also termed Lahore CCPO Ghulam Muhammad Dogar an associate of Imran Khan.

The PML-N leader further said that the “cabal of five” created political instability, which triggered an economic crisis leading to skyrocketing inflation in the country.
