PPP government has ruined Pakistan: Nawaz Sharif
Sharif was speaking to the media outside the Parliament House in Islamabad on Wednesday where the PML-N was staging a sit-in.
The chief said that the PPP government had supported a dictator, former president Pervez Musharraf, and gave him a Guard of Honour instead of trying him for treason in the court.
He said survival of the common man had become difficult under present circumstances, but his party was committed to changing the destiny of the people of Pakistan.
Sharif added that the ministers of the federal government were filling their own pockets rather than taking steps to control inflation and unemployment.
The PML-N chief also blamed the government for the unrest situation in Karachi, saying that everyone was waiting to see when the references against criminals would be filed by the government, as ordered by the Supreme Court.

Haaaah.... I guess all he is speaking about is Punjab.
Only Musharraf proved as the best. We need him.
@Concerned: These problems never existed under Nawaz Sharif but all started after the dictatorship of Musharraf.
I dont understand what Mr. Sharif is trying to proof us here by giving this statement. Currently he is the ruler of Punjab and Punjab is a big part of Pakistan which is more than 60%. What has he done since his brother is CM of that province? We are seeing number of cases evidencing the failed administration of Punjab. The law enforcement agency's corruption is on rise in Punjab especially and who doesnt know that provinsical govt. si the one who control police. I can onyl say to him that please watch you way before u take steps. People see your footprint.
@Zaka: "Musharraf era has been the best for Pakistan so far" 1. Musharraf did Kargil and as a result Pakistan had to lose face and do unilateral ceasefire because it could not resits India's response. 2. He gave permission on drones to USA and he is te one that signed up for war on terror 3. He killed the erstwhile Chief Minister of Balochistan which is greatly responsible for current situation in Balochistan. 4. He allowed the situation in swat/ South Waziristan to greatly deteriorate (that was fixed bythe PPPgovernment in 2009) and thus TTP was allowed to strengthen under his watch 5. He brought in the NRO.
A lot of the problems seen today is due to what happened during Musharraf's regime.
If PPP has ruined Pakistan then what about you Mr. Nawaz Sharif ? What was the performance of govt in your tenure ? Your brother is the CM of Punjab, where is the peace and prosperity there ?. Punjab is the worst affected by illiteracy, poverty, hunger and now from dengue fever. If you cannot control just one province then how would you take care of Pakistan issues ? You have to understand that challenges and issues faced by Pakistan cannot be resolved with Long Marches and Dharna, they need policies and agenda which you don't have Mr. Nawaz Sharif. You are so worried about Karachi now but just remember that you used brutal force and army operation against common Karachiites. Imran Hussain USA
Why Nawaz woke up so late that PPP ruined. We know its a corrupt party when they came in for 2nd time. Nawaz just play blame games. They don't deserve to be vote for elections 2012.
Pot calling the kettle black...
topi drama
@Mirza
Musharraf era has been the best for Pakistan so far, and Nawaz era the worst. Mr. Nawaz Sharif no hypocricy anymore. Dear Musharraf we love you - we miss you. Come and save us from loot parties.
tax do beta tax......!!5000 tax does not suit to a guy like u.....
His whole anger is due to Mr. Imran Khan and Dengue. Pakistan no longer needs "Used Cartridges". He knows there is no hope for him or his party to even get simple majority seats in Punjab. Go back to Lahore otherwise people will start singing "Ghar Wapis jb ao gay tum, kon tumhain pehchnay ga".
Resign first then talk...
Mr. NS you have bee a silent spectator for three years and now you say PPP has ruined Pakistan. You are very much to be blamed for the present state of affairs.
U r ruling over 62% of pak. Hypocracy at his best.
Nawaz Shareef it took you almost 4 years to realize this...really you care about this that PPP have ruined Pakistan...why dont you just resign from national assembly and break you provisional government...you can not have two rides in one ticket..you stuck to the deal of PPP in center and PML (N) in punjab..and that is the noora kushti the great Iman khan has been talking about...you both parties are the two sides of the same coin i.e status co...now this time the youth of Pakistan have managed to get a leader like Imran khan and now no one can stop this tsunami...why dont you give answer about your assets abroad and taxes paid..how that money went abroad...why dont you bring every thing in Pakistan if you care that much...wake up Pakistanis.......vote for imran khan..if not then dont cry for the rest of the life....
Yes, Mr. Sharif. PPP has destroyed Pakistan, but your chance to ruin Pakistan won't come. First control dengue in Lahore and then start talking.
Sorry Mr. Nawz Sharif, but your turn to ruin Pakistan won't come either.
Raymond Davis Case-Punjab Salman Taseer-Punjab Asia Bibi-Punjab Sialkot Lynching-Punjab
I think we have a problem in Punjab
Walk the talk Mr Sharif, instead of these mini protests get your members to resign if you really want to bring about a change. No to hypocricy
And he is going to fix everythng?
The PPP may have ruined Pakistan, but you Mr. Nawaz Sharif have ruined Pakistan by making shallow promises and by not doing anything to improve the situation. Had you and your party performed the duties of an opposition party, things would have been much different. You failed the people of Pakistan by not keeping the PPP government in check and by not offering the Pakistani people a viable option.
So Finally the TIME has come ? November is going to be a Crucial Month For this government & we will witness Rise in Political temperature. & He said it right about Musharraf he should be tried for Treason! I hope Someone Brings him back & Starts a trial!
Did Imran's and Nawaz's speeches get swapped ?
Just like Nawaz Sharif did when he was in power ;-)
