– Nawaz’s protective bail –

PML-N senior leader Rana Sanaullah said on Tuesday that the party’s legal team was prepared to secure former premier Nawaz Sharif’s protective bail.

Addressing a press conference in Lahore, Sanaullah lashed out at the political opponents, saying, ‘‘The country would not have been dragged into the quagmire if the politicians were not subjected to the political vendetta during the tenure of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).’’

‘’Even if we keep nabbing people, it will be a big injustice to the country. Those who had subjected us to the political vendetta, we did not forget them,’’ he added.

Speaking about the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), the former interior minister said: ‘’This is not a big deal that the PPP is making statements against the PML-N to garner votes.’’
