The ex-President claimed the country would have been better off with Shehbaz Sharif as PM

LAHORE (Dunya News) – Former President Pervez Musharraf has admitted that he is friends with Punjab Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan.

During talk in Dunya News programme On The Front, Musharraf criticised the ruling party of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) saying the Sharif family established properties in 1988 while collected money later in 2008. “I have no regrets and would do the same if given second chance,” he told.

While analysing the political unrest, he claimed the country would have been better off with Shehbaz Sharif as the Prime Minister. Moreover, he said there was no pressure on Finance Minister Ishaq Dar when he confessed to facilitating in corrupt practices of Sharif family.

He claimed Dar has a 40-storey building in Dubai while he himself has only one flat. There will be more conflicts between junior and senior if Nawaz gets disqualified, he predicted.

While guessing who will be named the new PM if Panama case verdict is against Nawaz Sharif, he said names of Khawaja Asif and Kulsoom Nawaz are being whispered. He told Pakistan Army would accept the call to make Kh Asif the next PM. Imran Khan is a straight forward person who doesn t has enough money to buy even an apartment.
