May 24: The Nation report by Abrar Saeed, Muhammad Asad Chaudhry and Nokhaiz Shahi states that Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif has claimed he was ousted from power for trying to establish civilian supremacy and opening a treason case against former military dictator Pervez Musharraf. Calling the opposition protests in 2014 a part of the establishment’s efforts to either subdue or dislodge him, he accused a former intelligence chief of asking him to resign or go on a long leave. The comments made on Wednesday by the besieged PML-N supreme leader are likely to escalate tension in the civil-military relations ahead of the general elections due in last week of July.
