    PML-N is in government due to PPP, says Hassan Murtaza

    Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) central Punjab’s General Secretary Hassan Mutaza said on Friday that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) is in power due to the support of his party, adding that 45 PPP MNAs are the government’s lifeline.

    In a video statement, the PPP leader addressed Prime Minister (PM) Shehbaz Sharif: “If it were not for the PPP, you wouldn’t have been in the Prime Minister’s House; rather, you would have been in Adiala jail.”

    By minusing PPP, all of PML-N will land in jail, Murtaza said.

    Earlier, PML-N leader Hanif Abbasi said in an interview that it is compulsory for PPP to be an ally of government, but not for his party.

    However, Hassan Murtaza said that Hanif Abbasi should stop doing politics of hate and urged people within the PML-N to discourage people like Hanif Abbasi.
