Nawaz Sharif responds to Rana Mashood’s statement

Former Punjab minister Rana Mashood had claimed that PMl-N has struck a deal with the establishment and that the party will make the provincial government within a few months as the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf has failed to deliver.

PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif has constituted a three-member committee comprising Raja Zafarul Haq, Ayaz Sadiq, and Rana Tanveer which will investigate and present its finding in two weeks, the statement added.

Reacting to the PML-N leader, military spokesman Major General Asif Ghafoor dubbed the statement as 'baseless and regrettable'.

"Attribution of an obvious vested statement by Rana Mashhood is baseless and regrettable. Such irresponsible expressions are detrimental to stability in the country," he said.
