Javed Hashmi addresses his last press conference

MULTAN: Veteran politician and former Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) leader Makhdoom Javed Hashmi while speaking to an unexpected press conference on Wednesday said that this could be the last press conference of his political career.

Hashmi, who has also been a member of the PML-N, said, "I don't believe that Nawaz Sharif should not be held accountable. I am the first person to say that accountability should exist. But why just Nawaz Sharif?"

He alleged that the PTI Chairman Imran Khan had said that after former CJP Tasadduq Hussain Jilani's tenure would end, the incoming CJP would "break the government and Parliament".

"Rigging was the issue earlier, but now it is Panamagate since Imran had to create some form of ruckus. He wanted to topple the government in three months. I told him you cannot do this," he added.

Pointing out the army's "lack of accountability", Hashmi said that although politicians are constantly held accountable but the same does not apply to the military.
