Nawaz Sharif’s daughter says Pakistan’s military establishment brought her father back from U.K.

The Hindu  

The daughter of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif has acknowledged that Pakistan’s powerful military establishment brought her father back from the U.K. where he was in self-imposed exile for four years, confirming what his opponents have been alleging ahead of the general election on February 8. As the moniker ‘Laadla’ of the establishment seems to haunt Sharif, Maryam said: “These days it is being said that Nawaz Sharif is a Laadla … yes, he is, but that of the people of the country.” Jailed former prime minister Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf has already alleged that Mr. Sharif returned to the country after striking a deal with the powerful military. At the same rally, Mr. Sharif criticised Mr. Khan and declared himself a homegrown prime minister, rejecting the notion of being an “imported” leader. “I was not an imported prime minister, I was a local prime minister and he was a failed prime minister,” Mr. Sharif told the rally, and added, “The enemies of the country did not give us a chance and toppled our government through a conspiracy.” Dawn newspaper said Mr. Sharif declared his intention “to overhaul the country’s political system” which has led to the “unceremonious departure of prime ministers” even as he questioned the reasons behind his removal from power ahead of the previous elections.
