Noble goals... for the distant future
Gilani promises accountability post end-of-term; Nawaz promises transformation to 'Asian Tiger,' if elected.
Gilani says the goverment can be held accountable, but after its term ends while Sharif says Pakistan can turn into an 'Asian Tiger,' if he is elected.
Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani on Monday said his government can be held accountable, but only after its term ends.
Addressing party workers, Gilani said the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) had fought anti-state elements to restore democracy.
The Prime Minister said his party also gave provincial autonomy to Gilgit-Baltistan adding that Kashmir is an important issue of Pakistani foreign policy.
Gilani also said the entire nation is united against the scourge of terrorism.
He claimed that the Charter of Democracy signed between the PPP and Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) has been implemented by more than 80 per cent.
The prime minister also asserted that the government will complete its 5-year tenure.
Asian Tiger dreams
PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif vowed to make Pakistan an Asian Tiger if granted another chance to serve the country.
Addressing a ceremony in Peshawar, PML-N leader lauded all those who resisted dictators and martial laws in the country.
Sharif said he cannot turn a blind eye to poverty and unemployment in the country and said his party will not remain a silent spectator if the government keeps on increasing the power tariff every month.

No shame. Still promising. Each of these parties has had multiple turns at the government but their bellies are still hungry. May Allah protect us. Let us bring an honest person for once … I am for Imran’s PTI.Recommend
This man, NS, “is dangerous” as Brutus said to Mark Anthonoy about Cassius Clay in Macbeth.
His last regime was based on an economic policy anchored on money-laundering, institutionalzed tax evasion and a build-up of suspicious non-bearer, and therfore non-identifiable, foreign currency accounts free of tax guaranteed by the State Bank against exchnage rate loss. Those accounts swelled to $12 billion against reserves of $ 1 billion. They were extinguished in domestic currency after the nuclear explosions causing millions of middle-class Pakistani’s to loose their entire lafe-time savings.
I shudder to think of what moronic schemes he will come up with next if he should become our next “savior”.
May God save Pakistan from these economic adventurists.
None of this is an endorsement of what he have today. They are corrupt and dysfuxctional.
But this next savior could be worse. Recommend
totally agree with mr zafar, above!
