The rift between Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Shehbaz Sharif and his elder brother Nawaz Sharif seems to be widening as the former’s newly appointed spokesperson on Friday said his chief had indeed floated the idea of “national government”. A day later, the PML-N issued a clarification, saying Shehbaz spoke in his personal capacity regarding his idea of national government. “Shehbaz Sharif had indeed proposed the formation of a ‘national government’ in Karachi,” newly appointed PML-N president’s spokesperson Malik Muhammad Ahmed Khan told The Express Tribune. It’s pertinent to mention here that nowhere during the course of conversation with the media in Karachi had Shehbaz talked about not working with the PTI while talking about the national government. “Any news item carried by any news media stating otherwise is a misrepresentation of what the PML-N president said,” according to the party spokesperson.
