Leaders who claim to change things in 90 days are liars: Nawaz

MINGORA: Leaders who say they will change the current situation in just 90 days are liars, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Chief Nawaz Sharif said on Wednesday.
Speaking at a rally in Mingora, Swat, Nawaz said the people who make such claims either have no experience in politics nor have any expertise.
“PML-N will change things here and serve the people as it has done in the past,” he stressed.
Criticising the incumbent Pakistan Peoples Party-led government, the PML-N chief said that the people had not voted them into power to create trouble for the country.
“Everyone can see what has happened to Pakistan under their leadership,” he said pointedly.
He also added that despite PPP’s arrogance, their prime minister had to go home in the end.
Defending against accusations levelled against the PML-N of being a friendly opposition to the PPP, Nawaz said his party has only focused on serving the people and ignored allegations.
Addressing youngsters present in the rally, Nawaz said that there are some politicians who are trying to hijack the youth.
“The young people are aware of the fact that who is honest to Pakistan and who will serve the country better,” he said, adding that PML-N during its days in power brought great pride to the green passport.
PML-N leader Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan, while speaking to the rally, too criticised Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan without taking his name.
“Those who talk about tsunami all the time are not aware of real politics,” he said, adding that Imran always talk about cricket but he does not know that politics is about serving people and not about ‘bowling politicians out’.
Nisar said that Nawaz is the only leader who does not make hollow statements and honours his promises.
“During Nawaz’s tenure, Pakistan was progressing at a rate faster than any other country in the region,” he reminded the rally.

Excuse us from the real politics, enough of your and PPP politics. From start of PPP-PML Pakistan rupee devalued from 22 per dollar to 96 today. Indian rupee was valued less than Pakistan, now even Bangladesh Taka is better valued than Pakistan Rupee. Enough of your ‘real’ politics.

It’s never over till you give up… so never give up! You would have heard the quote “Nothing succeeds like success” add “Try…try till you succeed” to this and you have just brewed the perfect formula for unstoppable success.
An outstanding quality of a winner is the power to hold on despite the most adverse circumstances. Sure, you are going to fail a lot. Not every endeavour is going to be successful the first time. Some might take forever to succeed. But the secret is to never give up. A winner is not a person who does not fail but, it is he who rises up every time he fails and tries again.
Don’t ever give up trying. Be stubbornly persistent. Remember that these ceaseless efforts will eventually help you overcome your obstacles. You will need to take pains to be persistent. Every little detail needs to be taken care of. You have to do everything and do it right to reach your goal.
Mr. Sharif, we have tested and tried you & your party so many times but alas you have let us down so no more PML-N, PPP, PML-Q, MQM, ANP. Inshah ALLAH, this time we’ll elect Sir. Imran Khan and I pray to almighty ALLAH (SWT) that HE bless IK with long & healthy life so that he can fulfill my dream and my dream is to see Pakistan as a peaceful and corruption free country, where people treat each other with respect, freedom of religion; in a nutshell I want to see my beloved motherland as envisioned by our Baba-e-Qaum Muhammad Ali Jinnah (may Allah be pleased with him)

Nor IK will change anything nor you or PPP will change anything unless the middle class take control of things themselves & push out Waderas, Choudharies, Rinds, etc from Parliament & make PK Army subservient to them. No more grandeur strategic depth dreams of Pan Islamic spreading from PK to Russia & other countries of the world. Live within your means! No more big boy toys like F-16, Atomic Bombs, Missiles, Nuclear Submarines, Al Khalid Tanks, etc

Yes , we know that truth hurts Mr Nawaz. as the movie saying goes”you cannot handle the truth.”

Like PPP he is waiting for Next Prime Minister but I,m fully hope Peoples known that we Need a New leadership, Like Imran khan which is honest and Most Trusted Politician. Nawaz Shrief is Liar , maybe he not read statement of Imran khan , Imran khan said Main corruption will end in 90 days , when New Honest Cabinet will come..its Simple and not required rocket science. But Mian Sab Not want to understand because he waiting to make fool..what nation want, Change or Old System? Its Depend On you, & Don’t forget you will give answer of at judgment day if you choose a wrong person & you will consider helper in every corruption and sin of future Government. So Don’t be Emotional supporters we Public have no family relation to someone so choose your vision by good politicians and Great Leader, its time to change our Mind, if you didn’t then same or more hard situation we can face…Its WARNING…!!!! Recommend
Most important “change” happen to happen in 90 days is “hope” taking place of present “gloom”.
Once we have “hope”, things will be on right track. Of course, this is not possible with a 3rd time (read rate) prime minister.

You two famlies brought our beloved country to this stage. Please leave us alone now.
RecommendThe problem with you Nawaz Shariff and with Nisar is a very typical case. You corrupt politicians have spoken the lie of your sincerity and progress for so long you have actually started believing your own lies. And to prove your point you tend to point out the few things you achieved that any party in power should have been able to do to begin with. The only thing you are given credit for is not succumbing to international pressures to destroy our nukes. There really is nothing else you did. You didn’t improve the railways, the load shedding or anything in your time either. Pakistan is beyond Punjab and your party has outlived its value. Its only there to usurp NA seats and perform walk outs and just about nothing else of significance. Please keep your democracy. In truth you are the people who are wasting the countries time. Both PML-N and PPP. Let the people who are “ACTUALLY” sincere take over.

Nawaz Sharif is the only true leader of Pakistan who could say “No” to US President and made Pakistan a nuclear state. Since then no country could dare attack the country from outside…. Unfortunately, a myopic dictator entered into a proxy war on terror and imported terror from US and Afghanistan.
Only Nawaz Sharif has the courage to say “No” to the agencies and behind-the-scene powers.
Nawaz Sharif gave Motorway to the country. He made Ghazi-Barotha dam and no subsequent govt (Mush+PPP) has made any other hydel power dam other than lip service!

When a government stops shaving 10-20% off the nation’s revenue and stuffing it in some swiss bank and puts that money into development or debt payback – believe me , even 90 days would make a difference….

The likes of PML N and PPP for sure know how to play the dirty game of Pakistani politics, but we have seen over and over again they know nothing about governing a country and Imran Khan’s PTI might not have experience in politics but I am dead sure they will govern our country way better than any of these have done in the past. These people are just afraid that if Imran Khan comes in power and does the right thing then its game over for them and we can already see their desperate efforts to climb out from the inside of the flush, but everyone know theres no way but down the drain for these political con artists.Recommend

@Nisar Khan:
Please do your research before making baseless claims. According to a recent interview by Dr. A. Q. Khan, Nawaz Sharif was the one who was stopping the military from testing the nuclear weapons. When Dr. A.Q.Khan threatened to resign, only then did he agree. And if a government can only give one dam and one motorway in two tenures of power, that is truly pathetic. Unlike the 90′s, this is an age of internet where people know what the truth is. So please stop fooling the public.

I remember last time i was in Lahore, all of traffic was disturbed because of new roads in progress and alot of mess i could see there. I can smell it was just because you wanted to grab attention of people to get votes in next elections. I could not see any management , it was just to show people that you care. PML N always focuses on those developments where they could be noticed among people. They dont care for real prosperity and economic growth. For sure i will ask my family to try Imran khan, cuse things cant get worse than this.

In the current climate of economic struggles and security kayos we desperately needs a true Statesman. I dare to see a dream, a TRUE leader who could pull us out of the mess. Safe pair of hands who have been there and done it and most importantly learned from their mistakes. I am no disillusioned, I see the facts: the motorways, the atomic bombs, the economic miracles, the laptops, the susti roti, the good governance ( Punjab), the list is long… It would take me years to digest a Psunami flood that has not even arrived on a single district or council let alone managing a huge country.. I also remember the slogan: ”Zalimo Qazi aa raha hai” and how much this helped PPP in the 90s, I see the Psunamis to do exactly the same ( get the Zardaris back into power !!!). So much so as I try I can’t see the Qureshis , Niazis, Bosan’s, Tareeens’s, Lagharis bringing the much needed change.

Not to vote any particular party is one thing BUT not to listen reason a is mistake. Resolving corruption in 90days was, is n will be a dream – here Mr. imran’s claim was just like fooling himself n unfortunate people of Pakistan, it’s not fair to promise unrealistic goals. We may need fresh n courageously fired young blood in politics but not the ones who wish to day dream n push nation from fire into frypan.

At least they are talking about changing things. Whether they will be successful or not that can only debatable once they are given a chance. Whereas PML (N) is as usual on a path of false claims to make Pakistan prosperious without giving any solid logic as to how they would be achieving it. We have seen some of the most disasterous and stupid projects like sasti roti, laptop scheme, aashiyana housing and danish schools to name a few. Enough is enough.
Recommend
Nawaz is saying that others are making fake promises, well many people know he is a part of the same list. He is just a big hypocrite, how can he even think about the whole of Pakistan when one of the main reasons of his popularity historically has been “being a Punjabi”. The same lotaas who left him for Musharraf are with him & he calls others liar. I dont want him tobe the PM because you will only see a growth in the number of Factories he owns under his rule & nothing else.
