Faisalabad: Pakistan Muslim League-N President Nawaz Sharif has said that Pakistan was being destroyed for personal interest.
Addressing a PML-N public gathering here on Sunday, Nawaz said that people were provided employment and poverty was alleviated during his government.
“Pakistan was a hub of progress and forex reserves were building,” he said and added that when he saw the country after 12 years Sri Lanka, India and Bangladesh have over taken us.
“Indian prime minister told me that they wanted to send their team to study our progress,” he said.
Nawaz said that Pakistan’s currency was more powerful than that of India’s during the PML-N government.
The PML-N chief said that if the progress were continued, Pakistan would have become Asian Tiger. He said that our own leaders are involved in stealing national resources.
Talking about his assets, Nawaz said that the Sharif family has sacrificed all its assets for the country. “They call us corrupt but we were rich even before the creation of Pakistan,” Nawaz said.
He said that Afaq Refinery had become powerful in 1972, but Bhutto nationalised it and we were not given any compensation.
“Mr Zardari country will not run in this way, you are damaging our sovereignty,” he said.
He said if there were PML-N’s government in the country, there would have been no loadshedding today. He added that loadshedding would have ended just like the Punjab CM eliminated dengue fever in the province.
He said that Hussain Haqqani had written a letter to Mike Mullen therefore the PML-N would not attend the assembly meeting till an inquiry is ordered into the matter.
He said if the masses give him a chance again, he would work again for the nation. He added that he would go everywhere in the country and ask the people that what should be done with the government.
“We trusted the current Zardari-led government for people but Zardari broke our heart by saying promises are not Hadiths,” Nawaz said.
Earlier, Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan said in his address that Imran Khan should declare its political sphere. He said that Imran should not use media for mudslinging.
Nisar said that the whole city of Faisalabad is on roads to support the PML-N. He challenged President Zardari to stage a big public gathering in Faisalabad.
He said that President Zardari even could not face the people of Sindh. He said the the president was used to leave the country whenever Pakistan faced troubles. He alleged that PPP had signed agreement with former dictator Pervez Musharraf.
Targeting Imran Khan, Nawaz said that it is not possible in cricket to take two wickets on one ball without match fixing.
He, however, invited Imran Khan to take the assets issue to the Supreme Court.
The PML leaders have declared their assets long a ago, he said.
He added that Imran earned Rs200 million but had not paid any tax. “PML-N respects army and ISI but will not allow them to play politics,” Nisar said.
