Bajwa, Faiz responsible for Pakistan's current crisis: Nawaz Sharif

Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif blamed former Chief of Army Staff  General (retd) Qamar Javed Bajwa and former ISI Chief Lieutenant General (retd) Faiz Hameed for the current mess in the country. The former Prime Minister also blamed Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan, calling him a “mad man”. Nawaz Sharif said that a cruel joke had been played on Pakistan for the sake of personal gains. Talking to the media on Thursday in London after meeting with a delegation of senior PML-N leaders from Pakistan, Sharif recalled his 2016 Gujranwala speech at the PML-N public gathering where he directly accused the ex-military men of rigging elections to make way for installing the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government in 2018.

انشاءاللہ اللہ فضل کرے گا پاکستان مشکل سے باہر نکلے گا اور ہم نکالیں گے ہم نے اللہ کے فضل و کرم سے پاکستان کی پہلے بھی بڑی خدمت کی ہے عمران خان جو پاکستان کا حشر کرگیا ہے اسکے چار سالوں کا میرے چار سال سے مقابلہ تو کریں.@NawazSharifMNS pic.twitter.com/QmLwb8SRyD

He had blamed the military top brass for installing PTI Imran Khan as the prime minister in violation of the constitution, removing his government, muzzling the media, pressurising the judiciary and victimising opposition politicians. Nawaz said that the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) took over the government after winning the vote of no-confidence to “save Pakistan from this madman” because “he had created a catastrophic situation for Pakistan.”
