Nawaz Shehbaz, Javed Latif, PML-N

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Javed Latif on Monday asserted that not only party supremo Nawaz Sharif, but also Shehbaz Sharif was not in favour of forming government in Centre, ARY News reported.

Speaking at ARY News programme ‘Off the Record’, the PML-N leader said that his party was being told to form the federal government which according to him is in the country’s interest.

“90 per cent of the PML-N leaders are of the view that we should not form government in any way,” Javed Latif maintained. However, he said, the PML-N has nominated Shehbaz Sharif for prime minister’s slot.

Javed Latif further said that Nawaz Sharif had also opined not to opt for forming government under such circumstances. “The people who are in majority should form the government,” he said, adding that popularity of such people will be exposed in 6 months.

He alleged that both the 2018 and 2024 elections were rigged, calling for judicial inquiry of both the polls. “The nation is losing faith in the system; the state has suffered due to such obstacles”, he added.

PTI-backed independent candidate Khurram Shahzad Virk won the election for National Assembly constituency NA-115, Sheikhupura III by securing 130,255 votes. As per unofficial result, his runner-up was Javed Latif, who bagged 94,144, votes.
