Nawaz Sharif not stepping away from politics: Maryam Nawaz refutes claims

Nawaz Sharif is not stepping away from politics, Maryam Nawaz refuted claims on Wednesday. 

Maryam Nawaz, Chief Organiser of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), taking to X refuted claims about former prime minister Nawaz Sharif stepping away from politics.

Maryam Nawaz in a statement posted on X said, “If not accepting the prime minister’s position creating an impression that Nawaz Sharif is distancing himself from politics. There is no truth to that.”

She asserted that in the next five years, the PML-N supremo not only plans to actively participate in politics but also aims to supervise government affairs both at the Centre and in Punjab.

Explaining PML-N’s supremo Nawaz Sharif’s decision not to become the prime minister, she maintained that PML-N had a clear majority during his father’s three terms.

“He (Nawaz) had even said during his speeches [before elections] that he would not become part of a coalition government. Those familiar with Nawaz Sharif’s principles would understand his stance,” Maryam Nawaz added.

“Shehbaz Sharif and I are his soldiers, bound by his command. We will work under his leadership and supervision. May Allah grant us success. Ameen,” she added.
