A day earlier, Maryam, the daughter of former premier Nawaz Sharif, saidjeep is the symbol of aliens.
Nisar said anyone wanted to visit his constituency can do so, which he saidconcerned him in the least. He served his constituents for the past 34years. He asked his detractors to point out any nook or cranny of the areawhere there are no signs of his service.
Nisar said the PML-N president issued a statement which an unknown partyspokesperson later said didn’t reflect party policy. “This is thesituation. Where the party is heading. Who is controlling it. These aremultiple questions which are unfortunate and upset every Muslim Leaguer.”
Previously, he said, he held his peace and didn’t talk about his rift withformer premier Nawaz Sharif because of ill-health of Kulsoom Nawaz.
But now since her condition was stable; therefore, he wanted to placebefore the nation certain facts about his break with the PML-N supremeleader, he said.
Nisar said this all has been happening against him for the past 10 months.
He said he quit the office of Interior Minister and didn’t become part ofthe new cabinet after his difference with the party and rather shifted hisfocus on his constituency.
