Former interior minister Chaudhry Nisar on Sunday said he has repeatedly said that he is not part of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) anymore.

“I have been part of the PML-N for a long time. I do politics of honour not of power,” he said while addressing a press conference. “I have a strong relationship with Shahid Khaqan Abbasi’s family but I have said many times I am not part of PML-N,” he reiterated.

The former interior minister leader said it will be sheer hypocrisy from his part if he takes the oath of Punjab Assembly seat. He said a trap is being set up to weaken Pakistan on multiple fronts.

He said calling everyone dacoit and looter won’t work as battles are won by taking the nation into confidence. He predicted that by October, massive inflation will hit Pakistan and the entire nation will be on streets. “The deflation of currency and increase in petroleum prices will adversely impact the poor people. People should be given relief by the government,” he added.
