Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President, Shehbaz Sharif, made amazing claims on Wednesday, stating that a conspiracy was composed on May 9, coinciding with the arrest of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan in the Al-Qadir Trust case.
According to Shehbaz, the alleged conspiracy was not only aimed at the political spectrum but extended to a planned downfall of the army.
“A conspiracy to coup the army was hatched on May 9, and any democratic government will not tolerate treason,” expressed the former prime minister during his interaction with journalists in Lahore.
He emphasized that the facilitation of those involved in the events of May 9 would be deemed “anti-national.”
Shehbaz’s comments came following his appearance before an accountability court in the Ramzan Sugar Mills reference, where he faces allegations filed by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).
The reference claims that Shehbaz, as the former chief minister of Punjab, misused his authority by utilizing public funds for constructing a bridge that benefited the Ramzan mills, owned by his sons.
Addressing the upcoming elections scheduled for February 8 next year, Shehbaz stressed the importance of conducting the polls on time.
His remarks underscore the political climate in Pakistan, marked by both legal proceedings and heightened tensions surrounding alleged conspiracies.
As the political landscape continues to evolve, Shehbaz’s allegations regarding the May 9 conspiracy add a new layer of complexity to the already charged atmosphere in the country.
The claim of a plot to topple the army raises questions about the stability and security of Pakistan’s democratic institutions, prompting further scrutiny and debate within the political field.
