In his newspaper column, Sohail Warraich discussed internal dynamics within the Pakistan Muslim League (N), suggesting that party members could be broadly divided into different groups based on their political standing and influence.
اندازہ ہے کہ نائب وزیراعظم اسحق ڈار شدید دُکھّی ہونگے کیونکہ سب سُکھّی انکے درپے ہیں اگر انکے نواسے کی گرفتاری ہوگئی تو اس کے بعد ان کو ذمہ دار ٹھہرانا کسی بھی طرح جائز نہیں کوئی والد اپنے بیٹے کے جرائم کا ذمہ دار کیسے ہوسکتا ہے؟https://t.co/ye3PB3Mi3T

Referring to the reported arrest of Ishaq Dar’s grandson, Warraich argued that the Deputy Prime Minister should not be held personally responsible for the alleged actions of a family member. He wrote that while political decisions and policies are open to criticism, assigning blame to a grandparent for the alleged crimes of a grandchild is neither legally, morally, nor ethically justified.
The columnist maintained that any individual accused of wrongdoing should face the legal process independently, while family members should not be subjected to personal attacks solely because of their relationship to the accused.
