Same people who conspired against Nawaz Sharif brought the protesters to Faizabad, says Khawaja Asif

As the Supreme Court began to consider review petitions related to the Faizabad sit-in verdict, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader and former defence minister Khawaja Asif claimed on Thursday that the protesters of the sit-in were brought to Islamabad by the “same people” who were involved in a plot against former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.

“If there was any flaw in the decision of the Faizabad sit-in case, all these things would not have happened. The Faizabad sit-in case decision should be implemented,” the PML-N stalwart said during Geo News show Capital Talk.

Government officials distributed money in a video, and that is “proof” of who was responsible for bringing the protesters to Faizabad, he added.

The PML-N leader also said that “the purpose of the sit-in was to somehow block the return of Nawaz Sharif”.

The former defence minister stated that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) was handed a victory in 2018 while Nawaz Sharif and his daughter Maryam Nawaz were in jail.
