ISLAMABAD: Federal Information Minister Senator Shibli Faraz today (Sunday) has asserted that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) would soon be divided into multiple factions.
The statement came in the backdrop of a volatile address by the PML-N supremo during the opposition’s multi-party conference. The opposition, later in the day, announced the Pakistan Democratic Movement to oust the incumbent government.
Addressing a press conference in Islamabad, the information minister informed that the rumors of an ‘S’ league breaking apart from the PML-N hold water and that even more branches would break off from the main party.
He further said, “Due to Nawaz Sharif’s stance, concerns have been raised from within the PML-N,” adding that the party had always pursued personal and hypocritical politics.
The federal minister asserted that Nawaz Sharif aims to create uncertainty and unrest in the country. “Nawaz’s recent statements have upset his party members,” he claimed.
“As an absconder, talking about politics does not suit Nawaz and his revolutionary nature is hollow,” he said adding that Prime Minister Imran Khan is committed to holding corrupt elements accountable.
Shibli Faraz also said that the opposition is looking to blackmail the government as the National Accountability Bureau’s noose around them is tightening. “Their threats to resign from the assemblies also stem from the same reason,” he added.
“After they have failed to stop the Financial Action Task Force legislation from passing, they want to take to the streets,” he said, adding that the opposition can be seen adopting several tactics to oust the government but they are destined to fail.
