Turmoil & bureaucrats

Published September 21, 2014

IT is extremely disappointing that retired bureaucrats and analysts have sold their conscience and become staunch supporters of the Sharif brothers.

They have ignored the fact that unintelligent people never learn from their mistakes. These loyal Sharif advocates are ignoring the fact which Imran Khan repeated a hundred times in his addresses to Azadi march that the Sharif brothers are not trustworthy.

The Sharifs have gone back again on their promises. The most recent example is Shahbaz Sharif’s promise at a press conference to resign if he was found responsible for the Model Town violence.

Nawaz Sharif was also caught red-handed with his incorrect statement on the parliament floor about his request for the army to act as facilitator to resolve the political crisis.
