ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Opposition Leader in National Assembly (NA) Khurshid Shah on Thursday has met Awami Muslim League (AML) chief Sheikh Rasheed to ask for his support against Prime Minister (PM) Nawaz Sharif.
The opposition parties have geared up the preparations to launch mega campaign against the premier after the Panama Joint Investigation Team (JIT) submitted its final report in Supreme Court (SC).
It is to be mentioned here that Khushid Shah will also meet Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) Pakistan chief Farooq Sattar to agree him to submit requisition for NA session.
Earlier, Khurshid Shah held meeting with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Shah Mahmood Qureshi during which he said that if PM Nawaz wants to save democracy, he should immediately resign. There will be no damage to the system if he leaves the office, he continued.
Will have no reservation if Nawaz Sharif brings forward his new PM after resignation, assured Khurshid Shah.
PTI’s Shah Mahmood Qureshi said that Nawaz Sharif has left with no moral, political and legal authority to stay on PM’s post after JIT report.
We and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) have same stance over PM’s resign and Bilawal Bhutto has supported Imran Khan’s statement in this regard, he added.
Shah Mahmood further claimed that PTI is also in contact with other parties after which joint stance will be adopted.
