"Maryam Nawaz is an unarmed girl. Sheikh Rashid has been doing politics for the past 50 years and all he does is issue threats every day," said Zubair, addressing a news conference. "Can't you do politics? Can you only issue threats?"
Zubair criticised Prime Minister Imran Khan, saying that the premier had resorted to personal attacks against Nawaz in a recent interview. The former Sindh governor said that it was unfortunate how the government was labelling others as 'traitors'.
"We [the PML-N] never distributed certificates of patriotism," he told the press, in reference to when the PML-N was in power and it had developed difference with its rivals, the PPP and the PTI.
He spoke about allegations levelled by that Nawaz had met three Indians in secret. "Mian Nawaz Sharif does not need three Indians," Zubair said. "Mian Nawaz Sharif has the strength of 220 million Pakistanis with him."
The PML-N leader said that it would make sense for a person to seek India's help if the circumstances were not favourable for him in Pakistan. However, he cited an IPSOS survey, saying that most people in the country did not think Pakistan was headed in the right direction.
Zubair said that the government was not addressing the issues of the public rather, it was fixated on trading barbs with the opposition.
"Every day, there are 15 press conferences. Shehbaz Gill does press conferences, Shahzad Akbar does press conferences, all other ministers do the same. Faisal Vawda does press conferences as well. But you will never hear them talk about the issues facing the public," he said.
He praised Nawaz's speeches that he made at the opposition's multi-party conference and later, at the PML-N's CEC and CWC meetings. Zubair said that there were few instances when a leader had spoken with such clarity as Nawaz had in these instances.
Zubair challenged the government to do politics instead of resorting to underhanded tactics against the PML-N. He said that various attempts had been made in the past to break up the party but they had failed.
"There is only one narrative in the party and that is the narrative of Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif," he said.
