The deposed premier took a jibe at the ruling Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM), saying the PDM had become a “drawing room” party, adding that they came into power just to get “NRO-2”.
Accusing ex-COAS Gen Bajwa of toppling his government, Mr Khan said “Bajwa did injustice to the PTI and now due to him the country is on the verge of default.” According to him, Bajwa was not bothered about politicians corruption, that’s why he barred me from taking any strict action against them.
Earlier, PTI Vice Chairman Shah Mahmood Qureshi said on Wednesday Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari could not invite the PTI members to the assembly as it was the prerogative of the prime minister.
