Everything works fine when your own house is in order, said former PM Nawaz Sharif Tuesday on DG ISPR’s press conference of Monday.
He had an informal talk with journalists at the accountability court. He had arrived at the court along with his daughter, Maryam Nawaz Sharif, for the hearing of the Avenfield reference. Journalists asked him to comment on the army spokesperson’s press conference, in which he spoke about social media and the “year of change”. Mr Sharif said he had not listened to the complete press conference and declined to comment on it. “Everything works fine when your own house is in order,” he said.
Journalists then asked him about allegations that his party, Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz, is behind Reham Khan’s book. “When they couldn’t find anything else against us, they came up with this allegation,” said Mr Sharif. Reham Khan is a former wife of cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan. She has recently written a book that PTI says contains lies about their chief.
At the court, the former PM reiterated his stance on the formation of a national commission. “If we get into power again, we will surely form the commission,” he said. Mr Sharif first spoke about the need to set up the commission after allegations of treason against him. According to him, the commission should be assigned the task to ascertain who really was a traitor and worked against the interests of the country.
