AFTER 30 years Nawaz Sharif has decided to fight against the ‘khalai makhlooq’ whose chief and the director general of an intelligence agency’s political wing helped him to win the 1990 election, providing Rs140 million public money.

In 2012, the Supreme Court gave its verdict in the Asghar Khan case. Now the incumbent chief justice is rejecting the review appeals of the army chief and DG of ISI involved.

He has ordered the government to investigate and initiate the case against those involved in the unlawful rigging of votes whose main beneficiary was Nawaz Sharif, for he later became prime minister.

I ask Nawaz Sharif, is he calling those a ‘khalai makhlooq’ who had been his helpers and supporters and helped him come to power? If that is the case, he is an ungrateful person and because of him two army generals are being disgraced.
