PM’s remarks on Nawaz’s health inappropriate, says Siraj

LAHORE: Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Senator Sirajul Haq has said the prime minister’s remarks about the health of Nawaz Sharif are inappropriate.

Addressing the JI Youth Leadership Convention at Mansoora on Sunday, he said it was the official medical board which declared Nawaz condition in danger and later the government itself allowed the former prime minister to go abroad for treatment. He said the government had exposed in the past 15 months due to its zero performance in every field. On the one side, he alleged that it handed over the country to IMF and on the other side it betrayed the people of Kashmir. The performance of the rulers, he said, had also become a matter of embarrassment for those who backed them to come to power. The JI chief said the IMF-dictated economic policies were tantamount to hitting the poor and middle class.
