Phaddah continues: Dar is closer to Nawaz Sharif because his son is married to Nawaz’s daughter, says Miftah

Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Miftah Ismail has blamed his successor Finance Minister (FM) Ishaq Dar for running campaigns against him for over six months.

During a podcast on a YouTube channel on Wednesday, Ismail said that Dar could not tolerate anyone else from within the party as finance minister.

Elaborating on the closeness of Dar with the Sharif family, Ismail said that Dar is closer to Nawaz Sharif because his son is married to the PML-N chief’s daughter and was with him in London. He added that Dar used to tell the PML-N supremo that he would bring the dollar rate and petroleum prices down.

In a podcast with Nadir Ali I mentioned Dar Sb’s relations with the party leadership, which has been a given a spin by the media. Upon reflection I regret doing so. I thank @fawadhasanpk and @SKhaqanAbbasi for pointing out my mistake. Here is the clip with the offending sentence. pic.twitter.com/IPO9zookGR

Miftah added that even though it was the PM’s right to remove him, the way it was done was not respectful. Nawaz Sharif called him to London and told him that he was being replaced in front of 12 people, revealed Miftah.

The disgruntled former finance minister said that there is no doubt that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairperson Imran Khan is a good politician and no one is close to him when it comes to political strategy and narrative building.
