LAHORE: After Maryam Nawaz, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has also targeted former chief justice of Pakistan Saqib Nisar for his role in `sabotaging` developing projects initiated by PML-N`s previous government.

Mr Nisar also broke his silence and advised Mr Sharif not to use his name to do politics.

As the PML-N, especially itschief organiser Maryam Nawaz, blames Mr Nisar for disqualifying the party`s Quaid Nawaz Sharif as prime minister in 2017 in the Panama Papers case, on Saturday PM Shehbaz sprung into action andlashed out at Mr Nisar for his role in `sabotaging` two projects of his previous government in Punjab.

`Saqib Nisar destroyed the PKLI (Pakistan Kidney and Liver Institute and Research Centre) as he wanted to accommodate his brother there,` PM Shehbaz alleged.

Similarly, the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) challengedthe Orange Line pro-ject, which was a gift from China for Nawaz Sharif and the people of Lahore, in the Lahore High Court which gave a clean chit to the government but it(PTI) took the matter to Saqib Nisar in the Supreme Court. `Saqib Nisarcaused a delayin the completion of the Orange Line project for eight months by holding its verdict.

He did so only to ensue the PML-N did not take any benefit of this project in the 2018 elections,` the premier lambasted.

Earlier, the PML-N built its narrative targeting Mr Nisar, another former CJP Asif SaeedKhosa and former ISI chief Lt-Gen Faiz Hamid for what it said by installing Imran Khan regime and disqualifying Nawaz Sharif. Of late the PML-N added the names of two serving SC judges and displayed their pictures in public rallies terming them a `cabal of five` responsible for the nation`s miseries.

Responding to PM Shehbaz`s allegations, Saqib Nisar said he never halted any project of the PML-N government. `Shehbaz Sharif is leveling allegations against me only for his political gains,` Nisar said, asking the premier not to drag the judiciary into politics.
