President Zardari is a threat to democracy: Nawaz Sharif

Sharif says that the government has made Pakistan a beggar in front of the world due to its corruption.

ISLAMABAD:
Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif called President Asif Ali Zardari a threat to democracy in the country on Monday.

"President Zardari is proving to be a threat to democracy, as I predicted a few years back", Sharif said.

Addressing a meeting of his party's Executive Council here Monday at Punjab House, Sharif said that during his premiership, Pakistan was in debt of only Rs3 trillion and now our foreign loans have exceeded Rs8 trillion. He said that the government has made Pakistan a beggar in front of the world due to its corruption.

Sharif said that the present government has given the people of Pakistan nothing but humiliation. He said that due to the wrong policies of our present government, we are being isolated internationally.


He said the investors are hesitant to invest in Pakistan while the domestic investors are also moving their businesses out of the country.

The party meeting was held to discuss current political situation, economic condition, implementation of decisions of the recently held All Parties Conference (APC), uncontrolled inflation, worsening electricity shortfall and the party’s future strategy.

Sharif said that the government did not take the parliament or the public into confidence on any matter. He pointed out that the resolutions passed by the parliament on the Abbottabad operation have not been implemented yet.

Sharif further said that in a country where the judiciary's decisions are ridiculed, justice cannot prevail.

PML-N chief also announced to visit Balochistan in a couple of days and said that it is unjust that the Baloch members were not invited to the APC.
