Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that he was shocked to hear Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo and former prime minister Nawaz Sharif directly accusing military leadership during his speech in Pakistan Democratic Movement’s (PDM) Gujranwala rally.

In an interview on Friday, the PPP leader said that taking names of military leaders was Nawaz Sharif’s personal choice as he has his own party and rules. It was decided in the PDM agenda to use ‘establishment’ word and not to take name of any national institution, he added.

Bilawal Bhutto said that he was waiting for evidence by ex-PM to prove his allegations. Due to intensifying coronavirus situation, I am unable to meet the PML-N supremo. However, a formal discussion with Nawaz Sharif is required for complete details on this issue, he went on to say.
