SUKKUR: Leader of the Opposition in National Assembly Syed Khursheed Shah on Monday lashed out at former prime minister Nawaz Sharif for staging rally which was “against state institutions”.

While addressing an event, Shah recalled the occasion when Shaheed Benazir Bhutto and Asif Ali Zardari were removed from office.

“Nawaz and Shahbaz played a big role in disqualifying Shaheed Benazir Bhutto and Asif Zardari, do they not remember that time?” he remarked.

“When we were trying to abolish Articles 62, 63, Nawaz Sharif had ‘conspiracy’ on his mind,” Shah alleged, adding, “Nawaz was thinking of applying those articles against Zardari in the memo scandal.”

Taking aim at the PML-N’s ‘show of force’ rally, Shah claimed it costs “at least Rs 40 to 50 million”.

“Mian sahib, be silent now. Come back when you are restored,” the opposition leader advised the former prime minister.—INP
