LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz Chief Nawaz Sharif said that the split of MQM and PPP might be another drama ahead of polls, adding that he was not sure if the separation was real or fake.

 

Talking to media at the residence of an office-bearer of PML-N, Nawaz said that he couldn’t tolerate hypocrisy and urged Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) to stop the politics of hypocrisy in Sindh. He said that PPP distributed sweets on Local Bodies Bill—then annulled it and again distributed sweets.

 

Regarding MQM, he said after being in alliance for four years and eleven months in government their separation was not understandable. MQM has quitted the government only before 15 days of the end of its tenure and its sitting in the opposition at this stage was a riddle for him, he said. 

 

Responding to a question, Nawaz Sharif said that all those desirous of party tickets were being scrutinized under Articles 62, 63 of the constitution.

 

To a question relating to change of political loyalties, he said that we were not luring any one instead the people fed up with PPP were joining his party. 

 

Explaining his party votes to the prime minister, Mian Nawaz Sharif clarified that the votes were not given for the love of PPP, but for the country.

 

He said his party has full confidence in the Election Commission.
