According to Memon, such remarks by a former prime minister were not only inappropriate but also reflected poor political judgment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Sindh minister further stated that using the name of a city or district in a political speech as a comparison or in a mocking manner demonstrated a lack of political maturity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Memon also referred to Nawaz Sharif&#8217;s own call for reducing political hostility, saying that although the PML-N leader had urged political opponents to avoid bitterness, <strong>his own choice of words was contributing to unnecessary political division and tension<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The criticism follows Nawaz Sharif&#8217;s address at an election rally in <strong>Mirpur, Azad Jammu and Kashmir<\/strong>, where he responded to Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman <strong>Bilawal Bhutto Zardari<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the speech, Nawaz Sharif remarked, <em>&#8220;Don&#8217;t mistake Kashmir for Kashmore; this is Mirpur, not Mirpurkhas.&#8221;<\/em> He also addressed Bilawal Bhutto by saying that political parties should engage in healthy political exchanges but avoid conflict and hostility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sharjeel Memon&#8217;s statement represents the PPP&#8217;s response to those remarks. As of now, there has been <strong>no further public response from Nawaz Sharif or the PML-N<\/strong> regarding Memon&#8217;s criticism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KARACHI: Sindh Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon has criticised Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader and former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif over remarks made during a..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7496,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7495","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-leading"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/438682_8980049_updates-1.jpg",700,400,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/438682_8980049_updates-1-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/438682_8980049_updates-1-300x171.jpg",300,171,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/438682_8980049_updates-1.jpg",700,400,false],"large":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/438682_8980049_updates-1.jpg",700,400,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/438682_8980049_updates-1.jpg",700,400,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/438682_8980049_updates-1.jpg",700,400,false]},"author_info":{"info":["admin"]},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/?cat=4\" rel=\"category\">Leading<\/a>","tag_info":"Leading","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7495","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7495"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7495\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7497,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7495\/revisions\/7497"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/7496"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7495"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7495"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7495"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
