Ex-PML-N stalwart Chaudhry Nisar praises PTI’s economic policies

Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan, once the PML-N stalwart, yesterday strongly criticised the economic policies of former prime minister Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif. At the same time he indirectly appreciated the economic policies of PTI government, surprising many.

The former interior minister took to twitter and said:” Happily, the textile industry is now developing again in Pakistan.”

خوشی کی بات ہے کہ پاکستان میں اب دوبارہ ٹیکسٹائل انڈسٹری ترقی کر رہی ہے،
میاں صاحب نے تو جان بوجھ کر ساری ٹیکسٹائل انڈسٹری بنگلہ دیش شفٹ ہونے دی جس سے بھارت اور بنگلہ دیش کا فائدہ ہوا اور پاکستان کو ناقابل تلافی نقصان ہوا۔

He alleged that Mian sahib (Nawaz Sharif) deliberately shifted the entire textile industry to Bangladesh, which benefited India and Bangladesh and Pakistan suffered irreparable loss.

Political experts are seeing his remarks as very important at this juncture. Putting his weight behind the PTI hints that he might take a big decision about his political career in the days to come.

Earlier this year in an TV interview, Nisar disclosed the reason behind his resignation as an interior minister during the last PML-N government. The former powerful interior minister said that then prime minister Nawaz Sharif had refused to stop PTI’s protest rally from entering the Red Zone in 2014.

“I had ordered FC, Rangers and the police action against the PTI and PAT sit-in,” he further revealed. However, Nisar said, the former prime minister allowed the protesters to enter the Red Zone.

In 2018 general elections, Nisar Ali Khan elected member of Punjab Assembly on PP-10 from Rawalpindi. However, he took oath as MPA on May 26 almost three years after being elected.
