HAFIZABAD: Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif, reaching out to youth during his rally in Hafizabad on Saturday, said that he has faith in them, as they will lead the country forward. “Nawaz Sharif is still young. His determination is young, courage is also young,” he boomed.
“We are determined to make a new Pakistan. You help us and we will help you. Together we will make a new Pakistan,” Nawaz said while addressing participants.
The party leader stated that he had not come to the city to summon votes or to run for elections, however, he went on to bash the ruling government and said that it won’t be long till the current rulers face defeat. “I have come to tell you that the country’s future is in danger.”
He further went on to boast about his party’s achievements during its years in power. “Remember the era of Nawaz Sharif. Everything was cheaper… the poor would live a life of honour, had food to eat, children would go to schools. And look at today’s situation,” he compared.
“Corruption is at its peak, and people are tired of the inflation and joblessness.”
The PML-N has been rallying across the country as part of a protest movement launched to force Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani to step down from office after he was convicted for contempt by the Supreme Court.

Sir you have already given us a new Punjab during the past 4 years which is full of corruption, lawlessness, bribery and crime. And yeah it doesn’t even have electricity and gas, let alone cheap hospitals and education. I wonder what else ‘new’ you want to give to pakistan. Recommend

Younger generation would look for a new leader who is clean and can deliver on the promises made by him. I am afraid Mr NS does not qualify both parameters keeping in view of his past record.

Its a strange demand from Mian Sahib’s opponents that PML(N) should resign from elected parliament. Is it opposition’s duty to resign and punish itself if government could not deliver? In politics, vaccume is filled immediately. PTI is still in no mood to contest elections, therefore vaccume left by PML(N) will be filled with PPP and its allies. This is what PTI wants? Pleae keep these wise demands for yourself. Resignations and boycott is symbol of PTI. PML(N) is a party of people, it cannot leave them unrepresented for one moment.
Recommend
He is desperate ,it shows, he should join PTI if he wants to be in some kind of power

My response: PTI.

@Bho:
Copying IK?!?!?!?!
The only difference is that of sanity.
PML N is asking govt and it’s allies to resign (ppp, MQM and ANP).
PTI is insisting that the federal opposition resigns (go figure?!?!?).

seriously Main sahib :) and how is the president of PMLN youth wing??? let me guess!!! Capt Safdar

Oh my God. This is so hilarious. Nawaz Shariff says “it won’t be long till the current rulers face defeat”. Wake up Mr Khadim e ala. You are the current ruler. You govern 60% of Pakistan. You have been in power for 5 times one way or the other. Please show some mercy and leave us alone. Perhaps many things were not under your control for the last four years but what about the things that you had the power to change. What have you done to reform Police. Have you done anything to improve law and order, education or healthcare. You want another five years. Why are we such a cursed nation? . Oh Allah, I realize we are sinful people but how long are you going to torture us. I beg for your mercy and ask for your help to get rid of our corrupt rulers.Recommend

@kazim:
Agreed , this article was not up to journalistic

for ET to be using such words.

@Ch. Allah Daad:
You are delusional Chaudary saab, I am no PTI supporter (or anybody’s supporter for that matter) but Nawaz??? can’t even think of voting for someone who has been tried and tested time and time again and failed increasingly with each successive term!
Recommend
Main sahib now you are trying to copy PTI
Recommend
@ s. ahmad, I am not sure that I should congratulate Imran on having his first supporter in Bahawalpur or feel sorry on your poor selection.
Recommend
Does that mean he will give away his millions to the youth of Pakistan for free?
Recommend
Nawaz has lost his ground. Youth want direction and vision that is badly missing in PMLN. Nawaz and his bunch of family members can’t fool any more. They have enough of the pie so far They didn’t deserve it in first place. Bye Bye Mian Sb.

We’ll make new Pakistan with PTI & DPC. Just wait until election & we’ll pack u off.

Imran Khan is what… close to 60? Either my definition of ‘young’ is a lot different or you’re 90.

Yep, lets give him another chance – maybe he will get it right this time. Or else lets give him more chances thereafter too, afterall its his right. If he fails, lets give his kids, uncles, aunts a chance too – maybe they will get right. We are intelligent voters, we know what we are doing.

i think it is a bit too late for nawaz sharif.
Majority of the youth supports Imran Khan
Recommend
Nawaz Sharif basically represents businessmen’s interests. Whether they are young or old it does’t matter.

@ Faraz, Mian Sahib’s both terms as PM were interrupted in half way. How can an elected leader be tried and tested in short period of time?

The youth helped you twice and what did you do? Made fortune for yourself? Please don’t tell me the oldies about motorway and nukes..

This man loves to copy Imran Khan. Maybe he thinks he looks like him too….

@Ch. Allah Daad:
don’t live in fools paradise, NS will be history in 2013, all young & old are with IK. . . .!!

This is another loser waiting to be chief again. He wants to make a new Pakistan because the old Pakistan that he has robbed and plundered is broke. Now he wants a new one so he can rob and plunder it again or give it to his children to rob. What a bunch of losers
Recommend
wake up cap safdar maryam and hamza

@Ch. Allah Daad: you should console Mian saab for losing another vote from Bahawalpur or rethink your selection.
Recommend
How shamelessly Mian Sahib (PMLN) copies IK (PTI) is not even funny. Sorry sir, u are too late PTI train with youth on board has left the platform long time ago.
Recommend
Why u need youth support now by the way….
As per ur statement u have already brought revolution in 99…
:-)

Nawaz sharif is a experienced leader and only leader loaded with ethics who can guide us through.
He liberalized the economy in 91, made private banks in his first tenure.made infrastructure despite 101odds .his struggle is now 32years and if we give him one term of 5 yrs then I bet we will beat turkey and become an example of developing states.
Recommend
This guy is the biggest hypocrite, I remember he criticized the PTI jalsa in Lahore because there was music, if any of you saw his jalsa in Hafizabad most of his songs were from the same playlist of the PTI jalsa. Not only that, the camera even caught his supporters fighting in the middle of his speech. Then he says to the public, because you guys came out for the jalsa I will ask Shahbaz to gift you something. Who does he think he is fooling other than the Noora’s (like Ch Allah Daad).
Recommend
Too late Mian saab, Imran has won us already, without any laptops.Recommend
We are missing one voting stat here: Many of 40+ support NS more than IK. 15-35 support IK more than NS. In our society, many obedient kids would like to vote on Abba ji’s call. Interesting times coming in 2013 election :)
Recommend
@Adeel Syed. You are wrong, sir. I support PML N as well because I personally think SS is better option than IK. IK becomes too negative about his opponents with calling them street names, this guy assumes he is only right person. Moreover, IK has not put any concrete plan to date about solutions of load shedding and inflation. I have seen SS delivering in Punjab, however PTI guys feel happy to put loadshedding, gas crisis, inflation etc, every charge on him. You guys better evaluate things neutrally.
OK NS is not that good, but SS is better choice for me to become next prime minister.

Why regret now Mian Sab when sparrows eaten all the seeds :) lol and plz get some good lines coz this is PTI trademark line:)Recommend
Nawaz Sharif is still young. His determination is young, courage is also young,” he boomed. ( Lets play hide and seek Mian sahib )
Recommend
Are we discussing in swinger or cover shot? If this news is regarding politics, then how come Mian Sahib is copying Imran? There is no comparison between the two. One was elected PM and other was only elected once as MNA. Except cricket playing countries, no one knows Imran, whereas in countries like Turkey and Saudi Arabia, Mian Nawaz Sharif is a household name.
Recommend
my first reaction to this headline was hahahahhahahahhahahahha…. now you remember youth mr shareef ???? the youth has decided whom they are supporting and thats only PTI Now inshaAllah !!
Recommend
@ Allah Daad
I was in Argentina two years ago and i was introduced to a lady by my customer that i am from Pakistan and first thing she asked me was hows Imran khan doing as politician and Argentina is not cricket playing country:)
BTW What difference will it make to life of Pakistani’s if Mian sab is known by the people of turkey or any other country ( although he is not that famous ). This country has serious issues of administration and PMLN failed big time again and again. Lets try someone New for a change and There is no chance of someone new in PMLN as having sharif as your sir name is basic and only qualification for being in top position in PMLN….
Recommend
Allah bless Nawaz Sharif.
Recommend
Mian Sahab (PML-N) for that matter, too little too late!!
We are no longer fools or easy prey for you to misguide and betray, kindly get your own house in order, reflect back on your acts and then seek the audacity to call out to us youth.
