Speaking during his visit to flood hit areas of interior Sindh, the PML-N chief said that he was visiting these areas as per the wishes of President Asif Ali Zardari.
He said the nation cannot tolerate bad governance anymore and the politicians must ensure a safe future for the masses of the country.
Sharif said the government should provide every possible help it can to the flood victims.
Zardari had earlier asked the PML-N chief to "spare a thought" for flood victims in Sindh.
“If you do not want to visit Sindh because of me, visit it for the sake of the poor, marooned people of the province,” the president was quoted as having written in a letter to Sharif.
The president even offered Sharif his personal residence in Nawabshah for his stay in Sindh and implied that his hospitality would be a repayment in kind for Zardari’s stay in Kholi (a prison), a reference to the time that Zardari was imprisoned on corruption charges (that were never proven) during the Sharif administration in the 1990s.
“Let’s come together to support the nation and get her out from the clutches of natural calamities,” a press release quoted the president as having said.
The president had earlier visited Nawabshah to get a first-hand account of the widespread devastation caused by the rains.

@Chengez K: There may be an outbreak of Dengue Fever in Punjab but it has been brought under control much faster than other parts of the country. Ask people in Lahore yourself. The difference in the punjab is that even if things kick into gear slowly, eventually things get done and improvement follows. That's why Shahbaz Sharif enjoys the support of most people in the Punjab.
He is a loser in war against Dengue!!!
Apart from visiting and talking to press what practical steps he took for helping flood hit people???
