– Shehbaz Sharif deems Nawaz Sharif 'statesman' –
Few days back, Shehbaz Sharif deemed former prime minister Nawaz Sharif a "statesman".
Speaking on the Samaa TV programme "Mere Sawaal With Muneeb Farooq", Shehbaz said, "I am thankful to the younger Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari for what he has said in the assembly. The PPP is now hurling allegations at us over ballooning inflation. But we were allies during the PDM-led government.''
Shehbaz Sharif said, "We had sacrificed our politics for the sake of saving the country. Nobody would have taken our names today if we did not save the country from default.".
He underscored the importance of strong democracy, saying, "The democracy cannot tolerate malpractice, dictatorship, and treason."
Recalling the events that transpired on May 9, Shehbaz Sharif said, "It would have been better if the events that happened on May 9 had not happened. The May 9 cases are of serious interest, for which the PTI founder is behind bars."
