RAWALPINDI: The disgruntled Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Chaudhry Nisar said on Monday he had carried the burden of Nawaz for the past 34 years but it would not happen now.
"Nawaz and his family are indebted to me. I do not owe [them] anything," he said. He said:“I wanted to [speak openly] about PML-N and Nawaz Sharif, about what has been happening in the past a few months, and the role of Nawaz and Maryam, but now is not the time [due to Begum Kulsoom’s ill health],” the estranged political leader said while addressing a corner meeting in Rawalpindi.
The former interior minister recalled that at the time when the PML-N was formed, there were only 15 or 20 party members. "Nawaz was not [very] senior or eligible," he said, adding that one of the members had to be made the leader and it was decided that Nawaz would lead the party.
"None of those [15, 20 members] are part of the PML-N now. Nawaz either left them, or they left the party." Nisar said it is possible that he might part ways with Nawaz. He added he had never compromised on his principles, nor had he ever sold his conscience. "I am answerable to Allah, the public and not Nawaz," he said. "My opponents should know that I am not alone."
