PML-N hadn’t enjoyed a level-playing field so far: Mian Javed Latif

SHEIKHUPURA, Dec 10 (SABAH): Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) senior leader and former federal minister Mian Javed Latif on Sunday said they had neither formed any alliance nor would go for seat adjustment with any other party in Punjab.

Addressing a ceremony in his hometown, Mian Javed Latif said the PML-N hadn’t enjoyed a level-playing field so far and added that the party supremo was getting justice at a snail’s pace.

Anyone creating doubts about general elections wasn’t sincere to Pakistan, he remarked and stressed that Nawaz Sharif was the last ray of hope for the people of Pakistan.

He said every party deserved level-playing field, but not the one attacking sensitive installations. “The party targeting sensitive installations is a terrorist [group], not political [entity].”

“We do not take the assertions made by Bilawal [Bhutto Zardari] seriously,” said Mian Javed Latif, who is considered a close aide of Nawaz and believed to be regularly explaining his viewpoint on different issues.

Why they should take Bilawal’s statements when even his father [Asif Ali Zardari] didn’t do so, he remarked – a reference to the interview in which the former president had told a private TV channel that his son [the PPP chairman] was inexperienced.

These remarks were in complete contrast to the speeches delivered by Bilawal who has been presenting himself as a prime minister material.

“We will reply when Mr Zardari speaks up,” he told the gathering, adding that Zardari was used to refute Bilawal regularly.

He also advised the PPP to contest elections on the basis of its performance and said it destroyed Sindh during the 15-year-long rule in the province.
