Fight of Pakistani politicians on TV
It has been quite six months since the last time party leaders met and therefore the PML-N leadership seems nowhere to be found, complained PML-N leader Nishat Khan Daha on Friday.
The PML-N member seemed disgruntled with the party leadership. He questioned the senior leadership’s “absence” and likened the party’s condition to troops without a commander-in-chief.
But Daha’s criticism of the party didn't sit well with Talal Chaudhry and a fight broke out between the PML-N leaders on SAMAA TV’s show Sawal Friday night.
Chaudhry, who is relatively closer to the Sharif family, told Daha the rationale the latter won the elections was because people voted for sher (the PML-N), not him.
The Daha responded that such could also be the case with other party members but not him since he was previously an independent candidate. “If people don’t vote for the name, then how did you lose within the elections?” Daha asked Chaudhry.
When anchorperson Amber Shamsi asked if he will contest subsequent elections for the PTI, Daha’s response was positive. “If the PML-N give me a ticket then it’s fine, otherwise I even have many options.. I’ve contested as an independent candidate also and can definitely represent the PTI if they provide me a ticket.”
Daha was of the view that not just him, but no PML-N MPA could get in-tuned with anyone within the Sharif family even just in case of an emergency.
“I haven’t met Nawaz Sharif within the last five years. Shehbaz Sharif was our Quaid… our leader. but even he hasn’t been available much.”
Chaudhry retorted that if Daha was so unhappy with the party then he must resign as an MPA. “It was due to Mian Nawaz Sharif’s sacrifices that you simply became an MPA. Things would’ve been different had Nawaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz not gone to jail and Shehbaz Sharif not performed well.”
The anchor had to ask both politicians to settle down and avoid interrupting one another while speaking and threatened to mute their microphones.
Daha supports of Usman Buzdar
“Just give him a while. He’s the proper person for the work,” Daha said while discussing speculations of Punjab Chief Minister Usman Buzdar’s removal. He clothed to be a lover of Buzdar, unlike the foremost PML-N leaders. He said he found the Punjab chief minister serious and patient.
“I don’t understand what the poor guy has done. the whole media is criticizing him but check out him, he hasn’t said a word to defend himself,” Daha said.
The disgruntled leader also complained that the PML-N had always selected ministers that hail from Lahore. “Ninety percent of the ministers of Punjab that they appoint are from Lahore. Is it PML-N or PML-N Lahore?” asked Daha.
