Punjab Chief Minister Mian Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif has said that Pakistan is passing through a critical phase and is beset with serious challenges. However, he said, only those nations can survive which face challenges and threats with courage and steadfastness.
He was addressing a meeting of provincial presidents, general secretaries and members of National and Provincial Assemblies of PML-N here on Monday, disclosed an official. He said the PML-N chief Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif is the only leader who can steer the country out of the present situation. He said Pakistan will Insha Allah stay forever, however we should not be oblivious to the gravity of the situation and instead of relying on others we should evolve such polices as are aimed at upholding sovereignty and integrity of the country.
According to him, the entire world is facing worst financial crisis of its history and the American economy is still staggering despite receiving assistance of 700 billion dollars. We have always relied on foreign aid instead of leaning to stand on our own feet. Due to inapt policies of Musharraf, Pakistan is on the verge of disaster and is beset with the threats of terrorism and extremism. Musharraf disregarded national interests and cowed down before his foreign masters and due to his one decision Pakistan is facing extreme lawlessness. Other countries have their own interests, therefore, they not only encouraged a dictator in the past but also allowed a crippled democracy to prolong. The only way out of the present explosive situation and lawlessness is unity among political parties and the masses to face all challenges with courage and determination.
"The PML-N is a national party and has its roots in the masses. The country will have to be taken out of current vortex if we want to move forward and there is a need of forging national cohesion to face internal and external threats. The PML workers are the assets of the party and sacrifices made by them for removal of dictatorship and restoration of democracy will not go waste and would rather be written in golden letters in the history of the country. Public service is the motto of Mian Nawaz Sharif and it is the only way to win the hearts of the masses. The PML leadership will take on service of the people as a mission and a form of worship. The PML workers have set a glorious example of loyalty and commitment during eight and half years' era of oppression and dictatorship. The party stood before dictatorship with courage and resoluteness first time in the 60 years' history of the country," he added.
