PML-N has never indulged in corruption: Nawaz Sharif

Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) cannot be termed a ‘corrupt’ party as it has never done corruption even worth Re1, claimed party chief Nawaz Sharif on Saturday.
Addressing a rally in Khushab as part of the protest movement launched against the ruling government, Nawaz said that the PML-N has always run the country with honesty. “Tell me, when Nawaz Sharif was the prime minister, was there any loadshedding for even an hour? This is the difference.”
“Right now, India’s progress rate stands at 8%, while Pakistan’s is at 2.5%. During my tenure, even the Pakistani rupee was stronger than the Indian rupee, and today the Indian rupee is stronger,” he lamented, adding that he has vowed to change the destiny of the people of Pakistan. “Nawaz Sharif has been working day and night for the sake of Pakistan.”
“I know you all have come here with some hope, to hear what programs we have for Pakistan to take it out of distress. We want to end loadshedding, inflation and every ill from the country,” the party leader added.
Special package
Nawaz Sharif told participants of the rally that Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif was due to come to the rally to announce a “special package worth Rs500 million” for Khushab.
“After looking at your spirit, I would now suggest Shahbaz to bring a package worth Rs1 billion,” Nawaz announced while stressing that it was a ‘special package’ for Khushab.
“We want to show that if Khushab loves us, we love it too.”
Nuclear tests
The party chief claimed that in his tenure, Pakistan did six nuclear tests in response to five nuclear tests by India. “When there were still a few tests remaining, US offered us Rs5 billion dollars to stop the tests… But I am not a person who would sell off Pakistan’s conscience.”
He added that had Pakistan not done the nuclear tests then it would be having no status in the world.

Why don’t these so-called leaders visit less-renowned places like Khushab on a regular basis? Why do they keep visiting these kind of areas only when General Elections are to be held? People must look at other options to bring about a real change. Please don’t let this rare opportunity go “waste”. PAKISTAN PAAINDABAD.

PML n is the only hope for Pakistan. The others are just raising slogans and even the language they use for PML n , shows that they don’t have any plan for Pakistan and just want to grab power. The only way forward for Pakistan is in the leadership of Nawaz Sharif, who is loyal and visionary along with practical experience of tough situations.

“Corruption is nature’s way of restoring our faith in democracy.”Recommend
And I never lied to the people of Pakistan, and I never did NRO with Musharraf, and I never fled the country with 40 suitcases, and I never made politically motivated cases, and I never received kickbacks from motorway projects, yellow cab scams. and PML-N’s MNAs don’t abscond, not involved in billions of scams, credit card fraud, murder of ex wives, poll rigging. And of course there is no such thing as a 36 billion rupee hole in Punjab accounts. There is no laptop fraud, sasti Roti scam, ashiana scam, danish schools fraud. And everything is so sweet and Rosy under PMN-L government.
If you want this all over Pakistan elect my party.

Poor people are passing through a tough circumstances,hungry is dancing around them,as reported by national media,house hold women goes to work having roped their minor children ,joblessness is spreading with remarkable speed due to which crime rate is increasing day by day,it is a result of load shedding and shortage gas in the country.
There is no consensus on good point between the leaders which goes to in favor of common man living in this country, every one is in best effort to approach the corridor of powers ,there is idea of welfare of the people.
They are subject to reject,and should reject,it is a golden chance of the people of Pakistan,change their mentally approach and choose a third option and adopted new ways leading to their welfare ,in the forthcoming election elect those who have clean hands not smeared with corruption.

Why is he making fool out of himself. Is there anything hidden from anyone? Just name a single person who is not corrupt in one way or the other. These brothers are filthy rich.Recommend
I think he is saying the truth. Its all just propaganda against him. Not even a single allegation proved. And all those criticizing Punjab Government development projects for God’s sake show some pity to the nation. You are criticizing: Ashiana, Danish, Sasti Roti and Laptops (All for the poor). Please appreciate what good they have given to us. Just because you are from the middle or upper class and you did not get the Laptop or House in Ashiana or your children don’t study in Superior Class Danish schools because you have resources does not mean you should criticize the impressive acts of PG. This is in fact one of the major problems we face today: lack of appreciation for good work.
And in my opinion Shareef family is clean of corruption. I can just judge by the marvelous performance of PG as compared to other provinces and the past times.
