The ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has decided to evolve an aggressive strategy to highlight party's viewpoint in the present scenario. Sources in the PML-N said the party leadership has asked all the party wings to highlight conspiracies hatched against the PML-N in their address to media. They have also been asked to mobilize public about defamation campaign against the party leadership.
In this regard, sources claimed the PML-N has planned public gatherings across the country. On Saturday, senior PML-N leader and Federal Railways Minister Khawaja Saad Rafique addressed the party workers and asked them to be ready for a party call, the sources said. Addressing on the occasion, Saad implored the Joint Investigation Team (JIT), probing the Sharif family's financial dealings abroad, to question itself whether it is trying to unearth the truth or just wandering aimlessly.
He said PML-N is being victimised as it wants the rule of law and Constitution in the country. He said the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) will always respect the judiciary and will bow their heads before it. "If Imran Khan or Sheikh Rasheed had said this, we would have considered it political rivalry. But we were likened to the Sicilian mafia which is a criminal organisation," Rafique complained. "We will always rebut these accusations."
Addressing his political opponents, Rafique said Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chief Imran Khan might not want to indulge in politics of abuse and accusations but his close aides are advising him to do so. Imran should learn lessons that the PML-N and PPP learnt after decades of rivalry, he added. Saad maintained that the PML-N would not stoop to the level of the PTI leaders and its young workers who do not realise the decades of hard work and sacrifices political leaders gave for democracy.
Citing examples from the past, Saad said elected leaders have always been removed by "unconventional means". "Whenever the PML-N assumed power due to popular vote, there are attempts to remove it through unconventional means," he said. He said: "People might disagree with our politics but our opponents cannot deny that we fought against civil and military dictatorships," Rafique added.
He said the political struggle needs to be carried out in a political way and democratically elected governments must be allowed to work as per mandate of public. Regarding revelations of Raymond Davis in a book, he said when there are conspiracies such things will happen. About Nihal Hashmi, he said Nihal committed a foul act, hence he cannot be supported. The PML-N leadership took prompt action and expelled him from the party, he said.
