The PML-N president said that the politicians have been used in our country, adding we have made mistakes in the past but we must learn from the mistakes and move on.

Shebaz Sharif revealed that first, former president Ghulam Ishaq Khan and then former president General (r) Pervez Musharraf had offered to make me the Prime Minister.

He went on to say that no previous government has received the support that Imran Khan’s government is enjoying but despite such support, the country’s situation is not good.

"We have to get rid of personal ego and bury the bitterness of the past for the sake of our country," he said.

Regarding Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) – an 11-party opposition alliance – formed against the government, Shehbaz Sharif said that the anti-government coalition Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) was formed and even broke up, while he was in jail in those days.

"As the Leader of the Opposition, I want to unite all the parties together," he said and added if the opposition does not gather outside the parliament they must gather in the parliament.
