STAFF REPORTER LAHORE – The PPPs Parliamentary Leader in Punjab Assembly, Zulfiqar Gondal Friday alleged that PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif was going to become an agent of CIA and RAW, ending his years-long association with the ISI. Addressing a news conference at Lahore Press Club, he said that Nawaz had turned against ISI on behest of India which wanted to malign Pakistans spy agency. When Nawaz Sharif was himself in power, he never talked of bringing defence budget into the Parliament, but now he is making such a demand because he has taken an anti-army stance, Gondal observed. Referring to latest WikiLeaks about Shahbaz Sharifs alleged meeting with former US diplomat Bryan D Hunt on March 14, 2009, he said that Shahbaz had told Mr Hunt that his party wanted restoration of Iftikhar Muhammad Ch and other deposed judges only because it had taken a stance over the issue and they will have no objection if he (Iftikhar Ch) was removed later on by any means after his restoration. He said another party leader, Khawaja Saad Rafique had also expressed similar views in his meeting with the said US diplomat according to the WikiLeaks. Gondal said that PPP leadership had then told Nawaz to wait for two months as Iftikhar Ch will be restored after retirement of Justice Dogar. He said Nawaz Sharifs demand for restoration of judiciary was also against Charter of Democracy (CoD) as the two parties were in agreement not to appoint any PCO judge in future. Meanwhile, Sunni Tehreek has threatened to launch movement if the government failed to control the menace of load shedding, price hike, unemployment and terrorism in the country. Addressing a protest demonstration outside Lahore Press Club on Friday, Mujahid Abdul Rasool said incapable rulers were forcing the people to take a direct decision against the government as the party which came to power with the slogans of Roti, Kapra Aur Makan has completely ignored public problems.
