ISLAMABAD: Senator Mushahid Hussain on Sunday advised Nawaz Sharif to become president instead of vying for the prime minister’s office.
“Given ground realities and knowing Mian Nawaz Sharif, I will tell him to shun the premiership. It will be better for the country and the democracy that he becomes the head of state,” Chairman of the Senate Standing Committee for Defense Mushahid Hussain said to ARY News in an exclusive interview.
“I don’t want him to be expelled from office a fourth time. Now it is a hybrid-plus system, not conducive for Nawaz Sharif, as three among six prime ministers have been jailed,” he added.
“Nawaz Sharif is a king, he makes strong decisions like nuclear and CPEC,” Senator Mushahid said.
“He has become prime minister of the country thrice, and mother of all deals is that no big distance would remain between the ‘elite’ and the ‘street’ any long. This distance should be ended, and I think it will happen,” Senator Syed said.
Mushahid Hussain Syed said that the Army Chief’s US visit was very pleasant, “see those that were more favorites, have now become favorites to a lesser extent”. “It is fighting between ‘dear ones’, in which it used to be said that ‘return’ you would not be said anything, he said.
Mushahid said, “Political parties unite the country and thus keep the national security in sight.” “It is clear that everyone will get some share”.
“We are talking about Shah Mehmood, also see what happened with Nawaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz. Nawaz Sharif was the former prime minister, he was pushed and handcuffed”. “The PTI people were celebrating it, now they should learn the lesson”, he further said.
“All PML-N people were scared in 2018, I told Shahbaz Sharif, I will prepare a white paper on rigging but they feared,” PML-N Senator said.
“All political parties are ready to function within the circle set for them,” he said. “No political party will get majority and a national unity government will be formed,” he predicted for election results.
