ISLAMABAD: A recent survey has revealed that a majority of Pakistanis want Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to resign from his post and stay away from politics.
The survey, conducted by Gallup Pakistan, a leading research institution in the country, said that the premier’s image has been damaged due to the investigation report submitted in the Supreme Court by a high-powered inquiry panel.
It was also asked in the survey whether the premier should file a case against the six-member Joint Investigation Team (JIT) and its findings in the Panamagate case or accept the report and stay away from politics.
“If you were to advise PM Nawaz and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) what would you advise?” it questioned.
According to the survey, 51 per cent people favoured the prime minister’s resigning from politics whereas 49 per cent said they would support his decision to contest a case against the probe body.
“51% favour the PM resigning from politics; while 49% favour resisting by contesting a case against the JIT decision,” it read.
