LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz senior leader Khawaja Asif took to social media to address his party colleague Miftah Ismail, regarding his recent comments on Pakistan’s economic conditions.

Asif referred to Ismail as his “Dear brother” and acknowledged his expertise and unquestionable abilities, considering his previous tenure as Finance Minister. However, Khawaja Asif expressed concern over Miftah Ismail’s public criticism of government’s economic policies, stating that country’s current economic instability could not afford such scrutiny.

He suggested that Ismail’s insights could be more beneficial if shared within party, emphasising importance of party unity and reminiscing about positive experiences and companionship they had shared in past. Defense Minister highlighted that party had twice entrusted Miftah Ismail with Finance Ministry, indicating their recognition of his capabilities. While acknowledging Ismail’s right to be upset over his removal from Ministry, he argued that targeting party had no justification. He stressed that political landscapes evolve and dedicated political workers endure both favourable and challenging times, emerging victorious.

PML-N leader concluded his message by expressing his preference for addressing matter on social media due to pervasive criticism faced by party across various media platforms.
