In a short speech to National Assembly on Friday, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said that he never requested Pakistan Army to become a mediator in the ongoing political turmoil in the country.
The prime minister said “Even if I have to sacrifice my government now and 1o times again, I will do that but I will not compromise on my democratic principles.”
Prime Minister also clarified that the Pakistan Army had to play a role because they have been entrusted to ensure security of Islamabad under article 245 of the constitution.
The prime minister asserted “I am under oath of the constitution, and I will abide by the resolution adopted by the National Assembly in support of the democracy.”
