Shehbaz meets Maryam, says clash between institutions not good for country

October 17, 2017

Punjab Chief Minister Shehbaz emphasised on better ties among all national institutions, saying the current atmosphere of confrontation between institutions “is not in the best interest of the country”.

“The present atmosphere of confrontation between institutions is not in the best interest of the country”, CM Shehbaz said during a meeting with Maryam Nawaz in Lahore on Tuesday.

The Punjab chief minister comments came in the backdrop of a simmering controversy stirred by a recent spat between Interior Minister Ahsan Iqbal and chief military spokesperson Major General Asif Ghafoor.

Last week Maj-Gen Ghafoor said in a TV interview that “if the economy is not bad, it isn’t good either”. Ahsan hit back immediately advising the military spokesperson to “refrain from commenting on the economy… [because] irresponsible statements could damage Pakistan’s image globally”.

“Every institution should work within its parametres for a sustainable political environment which is beneficial for the country’s progress and prosperity,” Shehbaz said.

Maryam, the daughter of deposed prime minister Nawaz Sharif, called on the Punjab chief minister and his son Hamza Nawaz after almost six months of hiatus.

They exchanged views on the key political and party matters.

CM Shehbaz also inquired after Kulsoom Nawaz’s health condition who is under treatment in London and prayed for her early recovery.

Kulsoom, the winning candidate of NA-120 by-poll and former first lady, began her first round of chemotherapy last week in the British capital.
