PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif, while addressing the prime minister, reminded him that it was he, in his "pride and arrogance" who had refused to collaborate with the opposition on a charter of economy.

"You started this container politics, you said you will burn down the Parliament, you said something about me. I will not respond to you in your language," said the PML-N president.

"Despite such blatant rigging, for the benefit of the nation, we said we are ready for a charter of economy."

"He rejected our offer with extreme pride and arrogance," said Shehbaz as he delivered a fiery address at the Azadi March rally by the opposition.
