LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League (N) Chief Mian Nawaz Sharif disclosed on Wednesday that President Asif Ali Zardari asked his brother Mian Shahbaz Sharif to strike a deal with the government over the issue of judiciary.
Addressing a press conference at Raiwind after an important PML (N) meeting, Nawaz said President Zardari offered Shahbaz Sharif a political deal when he invited him to a lunch at the Aiwan-e-Sadr.
“President Zardari offered that we (Nawaz and Shahbaz) would be declared eligible by the Supreme Court if we accept the present judiciary including Chief Justice Abdul Hameed Dogar,” Nawaz said.
“I would have accepted the deal if power had been more dear to me than principles, he said, adding, we have embraced our disqualification but will not compromise on the national interest.”
He further said it was difficult to predict the losses and future implications of the Supreme Court’s verdict.
The rulers have violated the promises made by the slain PPP leader Benazir Bhutto with PML-N, he said.
The former prime minister said everybody knows where the verdict came from.
"I think the nation will have to rise against such actions. If not the country will be harmed by those who want to destroy Pakistan. We should save the country against potential dangers," he said.
