Pak Army has no role in Nawaz Sharif ouster: Ch Nisar

ISLAMABAD: Former interior minister Chaudhry Nisar said that the Army had no part in former prime minister Nawaz Sharif’s ouster.

Nisar was speaking to host Saleem Safi in Geo News programme ‘Jirga’, which will be aired on Saturday at 10 PM.

The former interior minister said that a confrontation with judiciary will not yield any political benefits.

“Unnecessary confrontation with the Army can weaken our position, which is not suitable,” said Nisar.

Earlier, Nisar denounced the comparisons being made between former prime minister Benazir Bhutto and Maryam Nawaz.

The former interior minister argued that Maryam should only be considered as the daughter of Nawaz Sharif, the country's former prime minister who stepped down from leadership after the Supreme Court disqualified him in July in the Panama Papers case.
