ISLAMABAD: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Senator Maula Bakhsh Chandio on Tuesday quoted a line from the couplet of renowned poet Mirza Ghalib in his reaction to the statement of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif on the Memogate case.
Nawaz, during a meeting with party leaders and allies at the Punjab House, said that he regrets becoming part of the Memogate case against the PPP government and former ambassador to the US Husain Haqqani.
In a statement issued to the media, Chandio quoted the verse: Ki Meray Qatal Kay Baad Uss Ney Jafa Sey Taubah – Haye us Zod-e-Pashiman Ka Pashiman Hona’ (After killing me, he repented he will hurt no one no more – what a swift repenting!).
The PPP leader said that the PML-N supremo has no idea on when to and when not to go in the courts, adding that the former prime minister is not as simple as he portrays to be.
Now Nawaz should also accept his other political mistakes as well, he suggested.
