Rana Sanaullah, a senior leader of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), has stated that if led by party supremo Nawaz Sharif, the country would have been rescued from its current predicament within the next two years.
“The PML-N is taking a chance by forming a government that could succeed or fail,” he remarked on Geo News’ Jirga, which aired Sunday.
The previous security czar, Sanaullah, stated that the only way to end the issue was for the PML-N to win a simple majority in the February 8 general election.
“I cannot term the people’s decision as wrong, but I do not agree with this,” the PML-N leader stated, referring to last month’s polls in which many party bigwigs, including him, lost the polls mainly to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)-backed independent candidates.
The PML-N’s chief political rival Imran Khan-founded PTI took the lead in the recently held general elections with 92 National Assembly seats, followed by PML-N (79) and the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) (54).
