Certain lobby active to keep me away from public:
Nawaz
Salim Ahmed
Lahore—Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz Quaid Mian Nawaz Sharif has said
that a certain lobby is making efforts to keep him away from public
and so-called objections are being filed in a bid to reject his
nomination papers for the by-elections.
Talking to newsmen at his Model Town residence after a joint meeting
of the central and provincial parliamentary boards of the PML-N,
Sharif said that whole nation wanted impeachment of Pervez Musharraf
who caused great harm to the country as well as institutions and
public.
Nawaz said it is a wrong perception that only the PML-N wanted
impeachment of Pervez Musharraf. He added that a lobby is active
against him and in order to reject his nomination papers filed for
contesting the by-election for National Assembly seat, some
so-called objections are being filed.
Sharif further said lawyers are waging a just struggle and the PML-N
stands shoulder to shoulder in their struggle. Answering a question,
he said the PML-N stands for commitment made with the Pakistan
People’s Party with regard to by-elections. The PPP had agreed that
it will not field its candidates against those seats of national and
provincial assemblies where the PML-N candidates got success in
February 18 polls. The PML-N will also adopt the same course, he
added.
Earlier, a joint meeting of the central and provincial parliamentary
boards was held at Model Town residence of Nawaz Sharif. The meeting
finalized names of the PML-N candidates for the by-elections for
National and Provincial Assemblies seats from Punjab.
The PML-N candidates for National Assembly seats in by-polls are:
Ahmed Attique Anwar (NA-132), Haji Parvaiz Khan (NA-65), Captain (Retd)
Safdar (NA-52), Hamza Shahbaz Sharif (NA-119), Nawaz Sharif
(NA-123). The PML-N had not fielded any party candidate for NA-147
on the request of PPP.
This seat was vacated by Mian Manzoor Wattoo. The PML-N candidates
for Punjab Assembly seats in by-polls are: Chaudhry Mohammad Safdar
(PP-59), Rana Sanaullah (PP-70), Hassan Saifullah (PP-99), Shahid
Hussein Bhatti (PP-107), Umer Hayat Lalika or Akhter Hayat (
PP-118), Mian Shahbaz Sharif (PP-121,124, 154), Rana Arshad (PP-171)
and Sardar Zulfiqar Khan Khosa (PP-243).
