The PML-N leader urged the prime minister to refuse any demands and to spare the PTI chairman's face regardless of "whether he brings 2,000 or 20,000 people to the capital" in a letter from London.
Imran Khan, the leader of the PTI and a former prime minister, began his lengthy march toward Islamabad on Friday from Lahore. Imran stated that the timing of the early general elections was all he asked for.
On Saturday, the prime minister established a 13-member committee, which included members of the parties in the ruling coalition, to discuss the march. He said that anybody desiring to speak with the group might do so.The leader of the PML-N contacted the prime minister from London and Nawaz said in a series of tweets that Imran was urgently trying to save face. He stated Imran repeatedly made the boast that he would bring a million people to Islamabad, but that he had only succeeded in getting 2,000 people.
Nawaz claimed that Imran's terrible falsehoods, which were revealed in front of the country, were the cause of the people's apathy. He claimed, "He [Imran] delivered lie after lie with such brazenness and obstinacy that the DG ISI [Inter-Services Intelligence] was obliged to break his silence and tell the country the truth, which he could not respond even after so many days.
Nawaz argued that this was the reason Imran always placed a strong focus on profanity.Nawaz argued that this was the reason Imran always placed a strong focus on profanity.
Nawaz tweeted that Prime Minister Shehbaz should devote all of his attention to serving the people, regardless of whether Imran brings 2,000 or 20,000 people. "I have told Shahbaz Sharif that regardless of whether he [Imran] brings 2,000 or 20,000 people, neither he [the prime minister] should listen to any demand of this fitna [mischief] nor give him any face saving, for which he is desperate," Nawaz added.The ISI head and the director general of the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) had questioned why the army was being drawn into a variety of disputes on October 27 during an extraordinary news conference.The ISI commander spoke extensively about the strategy behind the upheavals that have occurred since Imran Khan's administration was overthrown and how crises were created to create a false sense of urgency.
Nawaz had previously tweeted on October 26 that Imran's long march was not intended to spark a revolution but rather to nominate an army chief who would suit him. He claimed that the public had already witnessed his revolution during his four-year tenure.
Imran tweeted that he had been observing a revolution take place in the nation for the previous six months, adding that the "only issue is will it be a peaceful one through the ballot box or a destructive one through violence." Nawaz's most recent tweets followed Imran's.
Imran is slowly making his way toward Islamabad after beginning his lengthy march from Lahore on October 28. His goal is to organise free and fair elections as soon as possible in the nation. The PTI leader has been calling for immediate elections ever since he was deposed by a motion of no confidence in April of this year.
Since then, Imran has conducted rallies in several locations and won both the Punjab by-election and the election for the National Assembly seats that became vacant after the mass resignation of PTI legislators.
Only a few of the 123 PTI legislators who had resigned got their resignations accepted by National Assembly Speaker Raja Parvaiz Ashraf.
The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) then declared elections to fill the vacancies, and Imran once again created history by winning six out of eight seats.
The PTI chairman has evidence that voters were on his side in the triumph in the by-elections in Punjab and on the National Assembly seats, and if the nation has quick elections, his party may retake power.
The nation, which has been badly impacted by climate-related rains and floods impacting almost 33 million people, has been repeatedly assured by the PML-N-led ruling alliance that general elections will be held on schedule and that there is no likelihood of having early polls.
There was reportedly a time when the PML-N leadership decided to call for early elections, but after Imran announced his previous long march in May of this year to demand a date for the next general election, Prime Minister Shehbaz and the top leadership of the allied parties decided that they would instead serve out the remaining constitutional term.
Imran is currently exerting continual pressure on the government to call immediate elections, but the governing alliance has consistently refused his demands and instead proposed to hold negotiations, among other things, about the charter of the economy. It appears that Nawaz's most recent tweet will keep the door to dialogue closed for some time.
