Islamabad: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Wednesday invited opposition political parties to participate in talks to discuss ways to take the country forward.
“Let’s sit together to move the country forward. Let’s talk about developing the country. There is no other way,” said the Prime Minister in his speech to the National Assembly here.
He said that in the past he had invited political parties to develop an agreement on the Economic Charter, but this idea was rejected only because of political points.
The prime minister said he was a victim and was imprisoned when his mother died.
He said he survived the miscarriage and despite the spinal problem, he was brought to court in a standard prison van to make the problem worse, but he never filed a complaint.
Prime Minister Shehbaz said that other PML-N leaders were also subjected to harsh treatment despite being prisoners under trial.
But facing all the sacrifices, he said he would never want his political opponents to be in the same situation. PM greenlights Pakistan-China JV project to shift industries
