Electing Raja Pervez as PM is a tragedy: Nawaz Sharif
Talking to the media at Nawabshah airport on Friday afternoon, he questioned the government’s nominee, "why the government brings forward ill-reputed persons. I feel ashamed even of taking names of such persons."
"It is surprising that President Zardari has nominated a person who is facing corruption charges," he added.
Nawaz Sharif said the Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) has always strengthened the dictatorship and that it was once again opting to support the rulers instead of strengthening democracy.
The PML-N chief further stated that Chaudhry Shujat Hussain did not consider the PPP candidate worthy to be voted for, having already said “I would prefer Maulana Fazlur Rehman if I would have my vote.”
Nawaz Sharif had arrived here in a special plane to proceed to Sehwan for addressing the public rally. PML-N leader and former Chief Minister Liaquat Jatoi, Dr Bahadur Dahri, Illahi Bux Soomro and others received the party chief.
Accompanied by PML-N Sindh president Syed Ghaus Ali Shah, Senator Pervez Rasheed, Marvi Memon and others, Mian Nawaz Sharif later left for Sehwan in motorcade.

ZA Bhutto was judicial murdered, PM Junejo was thrown out without any reason, Benazir was assasinated, unanimously elected PM was thrown out by SC. Makhdom Shahab was issued with arrest warrants within few hours of his nomination as PM. Now we have Raja Pervez as new PM. Still there is hope as he would be a better choice than Mehtab Abbasi or Maulana Fazal ur Rehman.
And these words from the mouth of Charles Sobraj of Pakistan (Nawaz Sharif), who is clueless as to how to handle the opposition. After the election, he bemoaned "Abba ji kithay phansaya'ee".
It will be nation wide weeping and mourning if you become (accidentally) PM of Pakistan. Stop pointing your index finger at others because other four are questioning you. You are ex-bhogora PM. Bring back all looted money only then I will believe you.
OBL is missing you Mian saheb. Last time you took money from him to unseat the elected PMs and rig the elections but his wives are in real tragedy and want that money back. Could you kindly return them their husband's money? Heard you also took money from ISI? Definitely you owe them a lot that's why you are seen doing their bidding whenever they need your help. Just because you thought BB was no more around you started considering yourself as the alternative leader? You need rest, buddy.
It proved a great tragedy for Nawaz Shariff. He could not do anything in building consensus. His candidate got poor rating. Was not it better he had showed political wisdom by joining other like minded groups to defeat Raja. Nawaz Sharif is a failure.
One tragedy bemoans the other. Tragic isn't it!
What is diffination of LEADER.?Are the people we are referring as leaders,come up to the time tested criteria a LEADER ought to exhibit? Money and muscle do not making one a leader.
“It is surprising that President Zardari has nominated a person who is facing corruption charges,” he added.
I dunno, seemed pretty obvious to me....
NS is the worst political leader Pakistan ever had.
Its nice to see Nawaz Sharif in Sehwan. He is constantly in touch with public. He should come into rule again.
Insha Allah Nawaz Sharif will again become PM. Allah bless him.
Most hate mongers forget that the new PM is elected by the coalition members of NA. We may not like him but he has legal and democratic rights to accept the nomination. The reason democracy in Pakistan does not work is from the day one after elections we start delegitimizing it. Four years have gone by and the losers are still not ready to accept their defeat. Why can’t they wait for the next elections? They know the ruling coalition would come back with a bigger majority and they have no chance against the ruling coalition.
My choice Nawaz Sharif.
Nawaz Sharif is the most popular leader of Pakistan. He is a real lion. All best wishes for him.
We want Nawaz Sharif back into power. Allah give him success and health.
Mr. Nawaz, thanks to your freaking friendly opposition, now have fun with another corrupt and inept PM………simply disgusting.
We love Nawaz Sharif.
Nawaz was a big disappointment two times. There is no point in trying him again. He is just trying to get some political mileage. He needs another Musharaf to send him with bags to Saudi Arabia.
@just_someone: You have hit the nail on the head
PPP is the enemy of Pakistan. They are taking revenge from the country. Shame for PPP.
All nation is worried. One more criminal has become the PM of Pakistan. Long live Nawaz Sharif.
We love Nawaz Sharif. May give him success, health and long life. Allah bless him.
Nawaz Sharif's performance is much better than others. He is a true 'Made in Pakistan' leader. He should again come to rule the country.
Nawaz Sharif is very right. It is Pakistan's bad luck that corrupt people are leading the country. It is a dark day for Pakistan. One more corrupt PM.
ZA Bhutto was judicial murdered, PM Junejo was thrown out without any reason, Benazir was assasinated, unanimously elected PM was thrown out by SC. Makhdom Shahab was issued with arrest warrants within few hours of his nomination as PM. Now we have Raja Pervez as new PM. Still there is hope as he would be a better choice than our Maulana Fazlur Rehman.
Our last hope is Nawaz Sharif. He is the only true leader in Pakistan.
Long live Nawaz Sharif. Insha Allah you will be next Prime Minister of Pakistan. Allah bless you.
Mian Sahib you are even worst when you were first elected by Agencies in 1990 you were a calamity. I am sure what your brother is doing in Punjab what do you classify that?
And you are an un-elected tragedy mian sahab
tragedy tragedy tragedy wink
Sharifs are a bigger tragedy!
When I grow old, I will tell my grandchildren that I came from a time where Raja Pervez Ashraf was appointed PM of Pakistan. They will surely admire me for bearing the tyranny and will definitely have pity on me...
Time to check NAB ---failed to act promptly and protect interests of the PEOPLE
All ex-prime ministers are tragedy.
I think The Speeches of MalcolmX should be shown to Pakistanis but here the Black Nationalism should be replaced with Ordinary Pakistanis and White with our Politicians and everything seems to be relevant in my view what is going on here... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNfAFfu6VD0&feature=fvwrel
Main Sahib the whole political elite including you are tragedy. This unfortunate nation is suffering because of incompetent so called leaders including you. Be fearful of the day when hunger stricken poor people will decide to take revenge. I can see such doom day fast approaching.
I feel sorry for the country.What message are we sending out to the world. A person accused of massive corruption in Rental Power Projects is now a Prime Minister of 200 million people.
I am totally disappointed
the most incompetent person
He is absolutely right. It was also tragedy when he himself was PM. And it would remain tragedy if we pick up anyone from these Politicians.
Mian Sahib, the whole political history of Pakistan is a tragedy. And you have played an important part in making the tragedy worse and worse with time...
Go to "independent" judiciary to prove him guilty of corruption. Why dont you ?
He is continuity of Nawaz and Gilani legacy - They were all incompetents.
