Islamabad: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz senior leader Sardar Mehtab Ahmed Khan who recently criticised party leadership for turning blind eye to public issues and ignoring workers has announced stepping down from party post. Announcing his resignation on Twitter, he demanded of his party-led government to immediately hold elections in country. “Let people decide country’s fate,” he remarked.

A day earlier at media briefing after gathering of party workers, Mehtab criticised inflated Cabinet consisting of 80 ministers and advisers, terming them burden on national exchequer. “Politicians and establishment are equally responsible for current fiasco prevailing in country,” he said.

Commenting on current political scenario in country, Sardar Mehtab said that PML-N government was equally responsible for current political and economic malaise. “It is common practice that after winning elections and coming to power, parliamentarians become stooges of establishment,” he said and asked International Monetary Fund to bind government to share details of all loans taken and expenditures incurred during last 20 years so that responsibility could be fixed.

Sardar Mehtab said that all political parties were responsible for current dangerous situation facing country. He said that party supremo Nawaz Sharif is only symbol of unity for party and country whereas current party leadership has its own agenda and objective “Which is totally different from vision of Nawaz Sharif.”

He advised workers to warmly welcome Maryam Nawaz Sharif during her visit to Hazara division as she is daughter of Nawaz Sharif.
