Topple ‘corrupt govt’ to save Pakistan, Shahbaz tells public

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) president Shahbaz Sharif urged people to topple the “corrupt” government of Prime Minister Imran Khan if they wanted to save Pakistan.

Sharif asked the people to “topple down this corrupt government to save the future of the nation”.

Addressing the public through a video message, Sharif urged the nation to join the joint opposition-led protest, Mehngai Mukao march, against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government.

He said he wanted to convey the important message of “my and your leader” Nawaz Sharif to the nation. He further criticised the government over “worst corruption, poverty, unemployment and cruel behaviour meted to the public”.

Earlier, the inflation march kick-started from Lahore where the party’s vice-president Maryam Nawaz said the government has “already been ousted” and the opposition was heading to Islamabad to say “goodbye” to Khan.

“(Prime Minister) Imran Khan’s government has gone he is shouting every day. The government has gone we are going to say goodbye to it,” Maryam said.

The PML-N leader said the “people are echoing” the name of party supremo Nawaz Sharif due to the “incompetent government and inflation”.

“The government has gone a goodbye is left only. He’s (Imran Khan) is pleading but nothing will happen now,” said the PML-N leader. She added that move to oust Khan was taken by the government and not the Opposition.

The government is facing a no-trust motion in the National Assembly. The session is called on March 28.

The National Assembly has a total strength of 342 members, with the majority mark being 172. The ruling coalition was formed with the support of 179 members, with PTI having 155 members, and four allies — Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P), Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q), Balochistan Awami Party (BAP) and Grand Democratic Alliance (GDA) — having seven, five, five and three members respectively.
