ISLAMABAD: Brushing aside the allegation generally leveled against his party regarding being friendly opposition, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Chief Mian Nawaz Sharif Wednesday said President Asif Ali Zardari would never have employed the kind of diction against him if he had been a friendly opposition.
Addressing a news conference here, Sharif said it would be better for the government to hold early general elections under the prevailing critical situation in the country.
Replying to a query regarding Younis Habib, the PML-N chief Sharif said he never met Younis Habib and did not remember if he had ever met him casually in a crowd.
Terming Gilgit riots the worst in the national history, Nawaz Sharif said the situation has gone out of government’s control, adding either Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani or Federal Interior Minister Rehman A. Malik should have visited the flashpoint.
