Country again being plunged into darkness, says Nawaz

Deposed prime minister Nawaz Sharif on Monday said the PML-N-led government finished its tenure and left the country in good shape but it is again being plunged into darkness, reported Express News.

Speaking to reporters during the hearing of the Al-Azizia reference, the former prime minister dodged a question regarding power outages during his tenure and said the PML-N carried out multiple development projects across the country.

"Everything was normal when my party was running the government," said the ousted premier.



"Shehbaz Sharif and Shahid Khaqan Abbasi inaugurated numerous projects during the last few days," he said. "It was our wish to have the Lahore, Multan and Sukkur motorway inaugurated by the prime minister but the construction took longer than expected."

Nawaz further criticised former governments and stated that no other government can take credit for building motorways in the country.

"We started 39 mega projects in Punjab. Made the Gwadar and Quetta motorway apart from completing the Neelum, Jhelum and Tarbela projects," he added.

The ousted PML-N Quaid further added that the Lowari tunnel was inaugurated after decades of delay by his government.
