ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif, during an address in Islamabad, said that Pakistan would have prospered if his party had been given more time.
Speaking at a laptop distribution ceremony in Islamabad on Friday, Sharif said that, “If they had let us construct, if we hadn’t been thrown out, if we hadn’t been sent to jail, if we hadn’t been banished, today Pakistan would have been a country where degree holders got jobs as soon as they graduated. That is the Pakistan we were trying create.”
The PML-N leader accused the current government of non-cooperation, stating that had they cooperated with the Punjab government, Pakistan would have had a different face today.
He said that with the work being done by the current regime, it was hard for him to imagine a prospering Pakistan.
Sharif called on the people to “recognise those people who had devoted themselves to serve the country”.
He said that education is flourishing in Punjab and their work was standing out. Sharif said his party had taken up the role to make a “progressive” Pakistan by making sure that the youth could hold their heads up high.

Pakistan or Sherif Family would have prospered more?

Lahore would’ve prospered not Pakistan. This would’ve further divided Punjabis from Pathans, Balochis, and Sindhis.

I often find PML-N leadership speaking for the rule of law and making fuss on transparency. Mian Nawaz Sharif is often seems screaming to return looted money but I wonder why he is reluctant to declare his total assets besides divulging details about industrial units in their names. “Sharif brothers should declare their total assets and disclose the details of their industries, their net value besides their total family wealth. Apart from assets Mian Sahib must told nation about his back ground and his Barre Mian Sahib’s business that made progress by leaps and bounds and made Sharif brothers owner of numberless factories. Sharif brothers should also disclose the sources from where they managed investment foresting up of industrial network in Saudi Arabia. Perhaps Mian Sahib has very short memory and he forgot that during his both the tenures people were deprived of their jobs and the common man’s financial position deteriorated. Nawaz Shrif, He looted national wealth through “ Qarz Utaro Mulk Sunwaro”, Yellow cab scheme” and via several other ways. Yet Hudabia paper mill case and several other cases are pending against him.Recommend
