Taxila (Staff Report): Former interior minister Chaudry Nisar Ali Khan has suggested his party Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) to put the focus on next general elections instead of confrontation with state institutions.
While addressing a press conference here on Saturday, Nisar said that the PML-N should not target the judiciary and Army as such moves would not be in the interest of the party.
The former minister said that the chapter of sit-ins must be closed in order to put the country on the forward track, adding that he was not against the protests as they were part of the democracy but protests interrupted the routine life in the country.
Referring to 2014 sit-ins, staged by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT), he said that then his ministry was not read to grant permission for the sit-in, but then prime minister Nawaz Sharif allowed it by overruling him.
