New Delhi, 20 September 2020 Sunday

Former Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has opened a front against the army occupying the country's politics at an opposition rally. Addressing a joint opposition rally through video conferencing, Nawaz Sharif, who is undergoing treatment in London, said his confrontation was not with Imran Khan, but with those who put him in power. He also reiterated allegations of rigging the election to win over Imran Khan. Notably, Imran Khan is known as a puppet of the Pakistan Army.

"If change is not brought about, the country will suffer irreparable damage," Nawaz Sharif said. It is very important that the army stay away from the government system. According to our Constitution and Quaid-e-Azam’s discourse, the military should not interfere in the people’s choice. We have made a mockery of this country in the eyes of ourselves and the world. "

"Our confrontation is not with Imran Khan, I said before the election and I still say today, our struggle is against those who brought Imran Khan, who committed such an irregularity in the election that his favorite man could come to power, he has ruined the country," Nawaz Sharif said. . ''

Thanking PPP President Bilawal Bhutto Zardari for the platform, Nawaz Sharif said, "I am not in the country but I know what the country and the people are like." I think this is a crucial time. Democracy needs to be defended and that requires decisiveness. If we do not take action today, then when will we take action? I agree with Maulana Fazlur Rahman that we have to make this conference purposeful, otherwise people will be disappointed.

Former Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif is preparing to return to politics after a year-long hiatus. Sharif, 70, president of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), had been living in London since November last year after the Lahore High Court allowed him to go abroad for four weeks for treatment.
