Leaders like Nawaz need no rank to guide party, people: Shehbaz

LAHORE, Apr 13 (APP):Punjab Chief Minister Punjab Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif Friday said leaders like Muhammad Nawaz Sharif did not require any rank or position to guide and serve a political party as well as the people of Pakistan.
He said Nawaz Sharif was not the name of an individual but, in fact, he symbolised an ideology and philosophy having its foundations on the principles of public service, supremacy of the constitution and respect of the vote.
Shehbaz Sharif, who is also president of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), in a statement, said despite the Supreme Court verdict, the party of Muhammad Nawaz Sharif was well alive as the largest political party under his guidance and would continue to be in future as well.
He, however, said today was the day of trial and tribulation for Pakistan and the nation when a national leader had been stopped from serving the country, through a court judgment.
“He (Nawaz Sharif) is the leader, who made the defence of the country impregnable and he is also a thrice elected prime minister,” he added.
“We have always believed in the supremacy of law and the neutrality of its arbiters,” he added.
