PkMAP Chairman Mehmood Khan Achakzai has requested PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif to tell the saner elements in his party to control the charged political environment.

Speaking to the media at the Parliament House today, he said: “You (Nawaz) may not like your opponents but a huge population of the country has voted for them.”

“We have to bear and take care of each other. It can be done in a way. Why are we taking parliamentary problems being taken to court?” he added.

Achakzai noted that it would be better if the charged political environment could be controlled because the country was embroiled in myriad problems.

“We are small, [but our] problems are big. Our small mistakes will destroy everything, I request for the sake of the country that we have to sit together to resolve it,” he concluded.
