I can no longer remain quiet: Nawaz Sharif addresses PML-N's working committee meeting

Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif is addressing a PML-N working committee meeting.

 He is speaking on the current issues plaguing Pakistan, saying he can "no longer remain quiet."

Slamming the current system of accountability in the country, he said that he would not remain quiet on the matter and that "no one should try to silence him".

"Nawaz Sharif is not made of the kind of stuff that can stand remaining quiet on dual standards of accountability," he said.

He also spoke of what he termed the government's failures in multiple areas of governance.

"Several people have lost their employment abroad and in the country. Has someone talked to them and asked them how they are doing?" he asked.

Nawaz said although Prime Minister Imran Khan should be held directly responsible for the problems that the people are facing, the ones who are actually responsible for Pakistan's current situation are the people "who brought him into power".

"If a poor man dies of hunger and if a person is raped on the motorway, then the ones who brought him into power should answer," he said.

The PML-N supremo said that the incumbent prime minister was a "stooge" and the party that had "won the 2018 general elections lost, due to the ones who brought him into power".
