She called for the ousted prime minister to withdraw his remarks and issue a clarification.Raza Haroon, a leader of Pak Sarzameen Party, said that Nawaz Sharif's irresponsible statement was tantamount to enmity with the country.PML-Q leader Pervaiz Elahi also condemned Nawaz Sharif for his interview.
