The former premier, while giving an interview to journalist Nadeem Malik on his show, said that it was very obvious that PTI was not the architect of 2014 dharna [protest]. “I don’t want to name anyone, but it seemed like that establishment was not ‘happy’ with our government. Nobody told me but it is my personal observation that former DG ISI Zaheer-ul-Islam was behind the organisation of PTI’s dharna,” the former premier said.
The PML-N leader said that he himself witnessed from the window of PM’s Secretariat that some men in civil apparel came and dispersed the police officials. “I along with my secretary climbed a wall of 10 ft to escape the scene, as some participants – who were nominated in-charge by those civil men – were misbehaving with the ministers and government officials,” he added.
