PML-N has never indulged in corruption: Nawaz Sharif
Addressing a rally in Khushab as part of the protest movement launched against the ruling government, Nawaz said that the PML-N has always run the country with honesty. “Tell me, when Nawaz Sharif was the prime minister, was there any loadshedding for even an hour? This is the difference.”
“Right now, India’s progress rate stands at 8%, while Pakistan’s is at 2.5%. During my tenure, even the Pakistani rupee was stronger than the Indian rupee, and today the Indian rupee is stronger,” he lamented, adding that he has vowed to change the destiny of the people of Pakistan. “Nawaz Sharif has been working day and night for the sake of Pakistan.”
“I know you all have come here with some hope, to hear what programs we have for Pakistan to take it out of distress. We want to end loadshedding, inflation and every ill from the country,” the party leader added.
Special package
Nawaz Sharif told participants of the rally that Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif was due to come to the rally to announce a “special package worth Rs500 million” for Khushab.
“After looking at your spirit, I would now suggest Shahbaz to bring a package worth Rs1 billion,” Nawaz announced while stressing that it was a ‘special package’ for Khushab.
“We want to show that if Khushab loves us, we love it too.”
Nuclear tests
The party chief claimed that in his tenure, Pakistan did six nuclear tests in response to five nuclear tests by India. “When there were still a few tests remaining, US offered us Rs5 billion dollars to stop the tests… But I am not a person who would sell off Pakistan’s conscience.”
He added that had Pakistan not done the nuclear tests then it would be having no status in the world.

What is he smoking? I want it too.
Yes because courts r urs and u hv CHAMAK.
The biggest issue of PTI kids is that they are totally blind to the history of Pakistan.. They just come & start trolling..
Nawaz Sharif zindabad..
yess.. Even Musharaf could not file a single case of corruption against PML-N leadership during his 9 years tenure..
I think he is saying the truth. Its all just propaganda against him. Not even a single allegation proved. And all those criticizing Punjab Government development projects for God's sake show some pity to the nation. You are criticizing: Ashiana, Danish, Sasti Roti and Laptops (All for the poor). Please appreciate what good they have given to us. Just because you are from the middle or upper class and you did not get the Laptop or House in Ashiana or your children don't study in Superior Class Danish schools because you have resources does not mean you should criticize the impressive acts of PG. This is in fact one of the major problems we face today: lack of appreciation for good work. And in my opinion Shareef family is clean of corruption. I can just judge by the marvelous performance of PG as compared to other provinces and the past times. MY VOTE FOR PML(N)
his needs are few and just limited to get a 'kursi'.......!
@WasimJarral: Ya,Nawaz is really visionary.I his two terms pakistan got more developed than England!!!!!! Big Joke!!!!!!!!!!!!
People in Khusab were there to hear about ur Rs32B embezzlement not just to receive Rs500m zakat.
I trust Mian Nawaz Sharif.
Thumbs Up - Who are voting for PTI in next Elections....!!!
people r not blind sir.
Outright announcement of packages as reward of attendance is called election rigging and Supreme Court ordered Election Commission to issue notice to Gilani for the same last year. But of course Nawaz doing the same is a different matter.
Prime Minister is a convicted one, President,there were graft cases in the Swiss court, there is undecided case under trial in the Apex Court against Nawaz Sharif.
Who is clean handed, I f want to save this country has been gained on the name of Islam, please elect those have clean hand, PTI is a only party have all its activists clean handed.
So a ten times bigger rally by PPP doesn't deserve the featured corner? Could you least pretend to be unbiased ET.
The headline is just hilarious. What would we do without our politicians for entertainment?
Let the Honorable Apex Court decide the case of former air martial Asgher Khan.
You will seen, record breaking public meetings, recored breaking processions, and record breaker popularity. Now you would see,record breaker victory in the forthcoming election, and record breaker change thereafter.
Don't go to their slogans, they are champion of lip-service, consider their past,find corruption and corruption, one remained,provide him a opportunity,that is best.
@jibran: Hilarious and so true!
PMLN Zindabaad
He can say what he likes. I doubt very much the people believe him.
Nawaz Sharif is the only hope.In reality PPP and PTI are same!!!God bless Nawaz Sharif and PMLN.
Oh really. Let's cite example of today's Khoshab Jalsa (I hope using Govt resources for party politics does count as Corruption; in any civilized country it is).. This is what a TV channel had to report from the Jalsa venue at Khoshab. "Female School teachers forced to attend PML-N Jalsa. Told attendance will be marked". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyFuEwqGagg
"He added that had Pakistan not done the nuclear tests then it would be having no status in the world". No status and current status of Pakistan is almost the same.
i like nawaz party i love muslim N party
Ther are many on the political sky, but all have lost their brightness , there is only Imran Khan shining as a last hope.
Imran Khan is the last hope of poor people.
"They never feel shame, baighairti ki extreme hey ye"
How can they, as they have no ethics left ! Just watch the PM and some of his ridiculous comments in London ! It says all about Pakistan's Politicians in general !
He is absolutely correct PML(N) is not involved in corruption where as ppp corruption have been proved
He added that had Pakistan not done the nuclear tests then it would be having no status in the world.
Yes ! We all know as to what Status Pakistan has today ! Thank you, for reminding us.
Yes he is right if anyone has the proof of our corruption go to the courts !
Poor people are passing through a tough circumstances,hungry is dancing around them,as reported by national media,house hold women goes to work having roped their minor children ,joblessness is spreading with remarkable speed due to which crime rate is increasing day by day,it is a result of load shedding and shortage gas in the country.
There is no consensus on good point between the leaders which goes to in favor of common man living in this country, every one is in best effort to approach the corridor of powers ,there is idea of welfare of the people.
They are subject to reject,and should reject,it is a golden chance of the people of Pakistan,change their mentally approach and choose a third option and adopted new ways leading to their welfare ,in the forthcoming election elect those who have clean hands not smeared with corruption.
Pmln is the only party that can bring change to the countery
And I never lied to the people of Pakistan, and I never did NRO with Musharraf, and I never fled the country with 40 suitcases, and I never made politically motivated cases, and I never received kickbacks from motorway projects, yellow cab scams. and PML-N's MNAs don't abscond, not involved in billions of scams, credit card fraud, murder of ex wives, poll rigging. And of course there is no such thing as a 36 billion rupee hole in Punjab accounts. There is no laptop fraud, sasti Roti scam, ashiana scam, danish schools fraud. And everything is so sweet and Rosy under PMN-L government.
If you want this all over Pakistan elect my party.
What a liar. Have you forgotten about pay bank loan scheme, tax fraud schemes and the corruption cases of why you were in jail?
PML n is the only hope for Pakistan. The others are just raising slogans and even the language they use for PML n , shows that they don't have any plan for Pakistan and just want to grab power. The only way forward for Pakistan is in the leadership of Nawaz Sharif, who is loyal and visionary along with practical experience of tough situations.
Seriously, dude?
William Baker (in his book Capitalism's Achille's Heel) and BBC in this documentary think otherwise: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5A4gWJR5N78
Hain??? Buhat achay... And what abt those half page newspaper adds that are being published daily from the funds of Punjab govt. in which u advertise shareef family and PMLN... And the most hilarious part is what they on the the top of them...BAAT ASOOL KI...
Why don't these so-called leaders visit less-renowned places like Khushab on a regular basis? Why do they keep visiting these kind of areas only when General Elections are to be held? People must look at other options to bring about a real change. Please don't let this rare opportunity go "waste". PAKISTAN PAAINDABAD.
Sajid Mahmood Awan Valley Soan Sakesar KHUSHAB
A brave and honest leader. God bless you PML-N. You're the only hope in these present crisis. i prey you two third majority again.
They never feel shame, baighairti ki extreme hey ye.
Going the RIGHT WAY PMLN
probably he does not understand the realities of present and that is why he is dwelling in past ,his coeeuption is seen by every one but his own clan
Nawaz continues his old politics of LIES and BRIBERY. Change? I don't think so...
"IF Khushab loves us, we love it too" Putting conditions are we? A true Pakistani loves every grain of sand on our motherland unconditionally.
“Right now, India’s progress rate stands at 8%, while Pakistan’s is at 2.5%. During my tenure, even the Pakistani rupee was stronger than the Indian rupee, and today the Indian rupee is stronger,”
Haha, Playing with the anti-indian sentiments for cheap votes you naught boy! :D
Joke of the century...
Hainnnn??... he is making a fool out of those poor people!.. sad!
What ???????????
Mian Sahib thinks that money laundering is not corruption. Loans written off and defaultering of banks is also not corruption?
PML(N) is the only party which can bring back prosperity, security and stability.
look at the manner in which this report is written. Clearly shows the bias of Tribune so more PTI trolls come and comment, so more traffic. You wont publish this surely
