Criticizing Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's (PTI) Lahore rally, former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Monday said that the PTI brought people from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and advanced the agenda of someone else.
Talking to reporters outside the Accountability Court hearing corruption cases against him and his family members, Sharif said that the people gathered at PTI rally were not from Lahore but had been brought from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and other parts of the country. He further said that there is no comparison of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sindh and Balochistan with Punjab in terms of development. "There is also no comparison of the development work of Lahore, the capital of Punjab province, with other capital cities including Peshawar, Karachi and Quetta. There is a marked difference among the provincial capitals in term of development," he said.
Sharif said that his party agenda has always been the progress of Pakistan and launching development projects. "If our agenda is followed for the next 10 to 20 years, Pakistan would present a different picture and "New Pakistan" would emerge," he said. The former premier said that some elements are engaged in leg-pulling activities to stop the country's development and prosperity.
"Sometime judiciary does leg-pulling and sometime leg pulling is done by other forces," he said. "For how long will it continue?" he questioned. Talking informally to reporters inside the court, he said that Pakistan ranks last in the development of good foreign relations with neighboring countries. "But unfortunately we have not learnt from the past. India and China are developing friendly relations with each other," he added.
