Punjab Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) Information Secretary Ansar Ali Buttar criticised Nawaz Sharif for signing an agreement with a military dictator. He said that by signing an agreement Sharif deceived party workers and he had no right to be called himself a leader, because a leader always gave the message of practicality and realism to his workers.
He said the Sharif brothers were deceiving their workers and telling lies for seven years and that after the agreement was shown to the public they had lost their right to call themselves the leaders of the masses.
