“The Pakistan, that we live in, is in a state of misery,” Nisar told the media. He questioned how the president could deliver such a confident speech after "what he has done" to the country.
“I was astounded at Zardari’s speech.”
For nine years, a dictator kept paralysing the nation at gun point and then whatever was left was fulfilled by Zardari, he added.
Nisar, in a questioning tone, further asked “Zardari said that government did a lot for Balochistan. What have they done?”
The opposition tried disrupting the president’s speech in the parliament by chanting slogans against him and later walked out in protest. The opposition leaders had gone into Nisar’s chamber.
“We thought it would be a big joke if Zardari talks and we keep listening to him silently,” commented Nisar on the protest, adding that all opposition parties of the country were a part of the protest.
‘Pasha’s retirement orphaned an inqilabi party’
When questioned regarding the retirement of former Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) chief Ahmed Shuja Pasha, Nisar said that he is not sad about the retirement, however “an inqilabi party has been orphaned”.
He added that he did not have any personal differences with the ISI chief and whatever he has ever said on the issue is on the record.
Pasha is due to retire on March 18 while Lt Gen. Zaheerul Islam will take over his position as his successor.
‘Everyone knows who started extortions’
Commenting on Muttahida Qaumi Movement’s (MQM) protests against extortions, Nisar said everyone knows who started extortion in Karachi.
Narrating an example, Nisar said that it seems as if the robbers during a robbery mingle among the neighbours when they create uproar and start shouting against the robbers themselves.
“There is one party who shouts and creates a ruckus and then all of a sudden, a call comes and everything is past and forgotten… We all know which political party does this every time,” Nisar said while remarking on MQM’s call to boycott the presidential address earlier and then taking back the call.

I wonder why these guys always drag PTI into their every speech and conference! What a COMPLEX-ZADA loosers they are, always scared of PTI overpowering them!
Actually president Zardari was talking about the PM Gillani's,president Zardari's,PPP's and Bhutto family's Pakistan not the nation's especially common/poor man's Pakistan and most importantly US' colony Pakistan.
I think President deserve respect, if he act as a President. Thank God N just realized that Zardari is bad, after 4 years. Sixth sense tells that N is looking for something like MQM.
Ch. Nisar is trying to fool by opposing PPP in public and then shake hands when it suites them best. This is marriage of convenience and it is working fine so far to make public fool. Lets see how public realize it and vote consciously
*where were chaudri nisar when 100 innocent people were killed in Punjab due to medicine that was provided by King of ministries shahbaz sharif and where is CH iftiqar and his suo moto action against those poeple who are inovolved in that. shame on N-leaque and sharif brothers.... I wonder who is saying about democracy....
The same Pakistan whose 62% is being ruled by your party.
There should be critical appreciation, not just condemnation. Above the question is how governance in Punjab compares with that of Federation.
@blithe...I will give you just one example out of hundreds that how PML N is equally responsible for what pakistan is all today..and how they fool Pakistanis....For the last four years Ehtasab bill pending..(Accountability bill) in the parliament..when you ask any one from Noon they will say it is because PPP government is not serious and they are not agreeing on it..when you ask PPP they say the consensus with opposition is not done til now..do you know how important this bill is for eradicating corruption..just go and search for it..get some knowledge..Now just tell me if ANP can block 19th amendment only for the changing of the name of KPK..what Noon was doing all this time while passing 18th...19th and 20th amendment..should not they have asked government that they will not be on board of any amendment until ehtasab bill is not passed..is this that difficult to understand..I can go on and on but I think this is enough to give you the real picture..if PML N was serious in eradicating corruption they would have done it along time ago..dont fool your self an others..
sarah khan: well said, pmln is truly zia production without a clear dimension or direction now
Mr. Nisar i want you to please deliver a msg from me to Mr. Shahbaz Sharif. Mr. Shahbaz you deserve to be the Nazim of Lahore City You are by no means a Chief Minister. And One thing More Mr. CM, Please learn to start real Projects instead of the cheap publicity stunts of giving Subsidies.
@blithe: i m not a supporter of PTI and u wouldn't have said it if u had read my comments on Imran khan , don't u think PML N's hypocrisy is obvious as they have sided with Government coalition at every crucial political moment be it a Memo scandal, Raymond Davis, Go zardari Go movement, 20th amendment ??? aren't they hypocrites.
@blithe: Ahhh ladies and gentleman observe here a pmln troll, notice the desperate pleas for attention, and ofcourse no troll is compete without being a hypocrite. Calling others trolls but Not even noticing what he writes. The troll will stop at nothing to not use his brain. Throw out accusations while being ignorant. So the only advice when one encounters their kind, don't feed the trolls.
@Sarah Khan: No , wake up from your slumber and have a cup of coffee. Ch. Nisar was referring to pasha / IK equation , where IK was unable to articulate any constructive criticism against Pasha.
@blithe: Your obsession with PTI is disturbing. You're replying to folks who didn't even mention PTI and pulling it into the conversation.
If you're satisfied with PML-N's role as an effective opposition, you should have nothing to worry about and would just ignore PTI.
@blithe: I don't think you understand the hollow words that come out of every PML-N person's mouth. I don't think you know how to read between the lines either. Seems like you've been brainwashed by the Sharif brothers. Stop taking PML-N's words at face value. Otherwise you end up blindly following whatever they want you to believe. Case in point being your argument here. Also, in case you aren't following the news lately, the Sharif brothers are the ones who've been "cosying up" with the establishment all this time, not PTI.
He is talking about the same Pakistan which Nawaz Sharif is talking about for the last 4 years. He is claiming that he brought revolution in Pakistan during his tenures. Both Zardari and Sharif are fooling only and only to the poor people of Pakistan in the name of democracy. Credit goes to PML-N, it supported Zardari when PPP government was on the brink of the collapse everytime. Now elections are coming close and they are doing dramas. Ch. Nisar should tell the people where is "Go Zardari Go" campaign. Why know they are not protesting on the power shortages. When public came out they tried to cash it. It is rediculous.
Wrongly stated but will have to tolerate. it is need of the time. He has come armed mandate and immunity.
All stack holder are equally responsible for the existing condition of the country.
At his remark upon ''inqalabi party ka yateem hona'', i believe a plane crash on 17th of August 1988 left his party an orphan and he just keeps forgetting that.
His presence in Parliament as speaker/president,is right, but his wording regarding the recent or past situation has no similarity with circumstances.
Mr Nisar , just remind us how many times has the opposition even tried to bring forward the general election. If you are of the opinion that the sitting government is incompetent , all you had to do is to have made a motion of 'no confidence' . You did not try it even once. Sincere opposition would have tried it. Acting like a drama queen is not helping anyone.
M.Q.M.'s behave is not objectionable, they done,doing and will do according to their party policy. M.Q.M. is organized party,it has its own policy with good leadership,their increasing popularity is witness of my claim.
Speech was good but not representing the whole real scenario.
If PML-N has to be made responsible for corruption and wrongdoings of this govt, I suggest to include judiciary and media too. 8500 billion in 4 years and how much of them our courts and media recovered? Lets now accept that despite fake votes, PPP and its allies got maximum votes in past elections. Lets pledge that we will choose better people next time.
Pakistan in a state of misery? And that includes Punjab.
Noora Kushti... Fake Wrestling... Fooling Pakistan..
He was talking about the Pakistan, where your leader MNS and his family does not want to live, and he has to fly every now and then to look after his business empire overseas.
By the way, Ch Nisar where is your "great" leader Nawaz?? I bet he is back in London, funny whenever PMLN gets in hot waters (Mehrangate), Nawaz just flies off to merry London. This alone shows the commitment of these people to Pakistan.
Ch Nisar, what has PMLN done in Punjab?? These parties, PPP & PMLN are one and the same. When it comes to hiding their crimes they join together; both are in trouble with the SC and God willing both will be thrown in the dust bin of history
For a moment, I forgot,where am i,in or out remote country and hearing speech of the head of the state.
Good speech was delivered, a new Islamic state was appeared in my ideas,the state in which no poverty no shortage of power,no economic crisis,no people are dying due to expired medicines,there is no question of unemployment,five rivers are going on,no one committing suicide there due to hunger and joblessness/
people are very happy, but selling their children putting them on the donkey cart. not long ago, a man committed suicide just before the chief minister house,he was in search of justice.
Many such stories are spreading around, people putting their hands upward the sky for bless,Allah Almighty is the only power Who can solve all the problems being faced by poor people of this country.
@anybodyagree: How are PML N equally responsible???? Please enunciate. Do you understand how a federation words????
It seems the trolls have been badly brainwashed. Just beacuse PML N they are not boycotting somehow they are equally responsible!!?!?
Tired of this chidlish argument by PTI trolls.
@Pakistan politics: Hypocrisy - funny whenever PTI trolls mention that word, isn't it?
What if you have party that you are claiming to be " inqalabi " yet you are too afraid to criticise the establishment, you are cosying up to MQM (in spite of what you said earlier about them), you are relying on Piri landloards insread of idealogy to win votes, on the day that Nawaz Sharif takes out a march to restore judiciary IK goes into hiding, youare more intrested in bad mouthing national opposition than the sitting governement (which will actaully help PPP in next elections), etc.
Yes, hypocrisy is word PT trolls should use very carefully, strong text
"I wonder which Pakistan Zardari was talking about: Chaudhry Nisar" You Mr. No are equally responsible for this national misery ......????
as opposition leader you are a part of this parliament, what have you done, 4 years have been protecting mr nawaz sharif, and disappointed this nation, in effective opposition does not not desreve to be elected next time
@Blithe: we might not be able to hear wat he did good for us, the only job in the world which restricts u from telling the good u have done for ur country is a Spymaster post
What ever miseries nation is facing Ch Nisar you are also one of the causes of it. No check and balance just friendly and favourable opposition. I do not know to whom you are trying to make fool. Each individual of this nation now knows where political leadership of the country stands.
look who's talking, hypocrisy is at its peak
Yes the citizens are hurting.Yes there is bad governance.Yes there is rampant corruption.
Yes PPP by and large is responsible for the above.
BUT can PML-N completely abdicate itself from the responsibility?.
See you both political parties on election day
“I wonder which Pakistan [President Asif Ali] Zardari was talking about,” - Ch. Nisar ... the Pakistan that your party has helped destroy while working in cahoots with him.
MQM got exposed again!!!! It makes me believe that thet have a truly transactional relationship with Zardari.
Thank God that Pasha era is behind us . He'll go down as the most incompetent ISI chief in the history of Pakistan.
This is the beauty of PML N - they call it as it is.
