LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League (PML) President and former Prime Minister Ch Shujaat Hussain in his reaction to Nawaz Sharif's speech said on Monday that every time after coming into power Nawaz Sharif indulged in fight with the army and weakened the institutions instead of creating national stability, solidarity and national security.

Shujat said that Nawaz Sharif targeted the army instead of politicians. "The substance of his speech was that he is against the army not the politicians." He said in his speech Nawaz Sharif mentioned about rigging but forgot to mention rigging done in his favour.

"Nawaz Sharif said that the country has been turned into a laboratory whereas he himself had laid the foundation of this laboratory. In 1990 election, he himself had announced result at 12 noon whereas the Election Commission had announced the results in the evening. It was Nawaz Sharif who had requested the Election Commission that the army should assume responsibility for the election. He has accused the institutions of hijacking the election and dishonesty whereas he had himself done this work for becoming the Prime Minister."
