Quaid Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) and former prime minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif has asked the people to end his disqualification from holding public office through Parliament by voting in favour of his party in a large number during the upcoming general elections. Addressing PML-N workers at a convention in Attock on Wednesday, Nawaz Sharif asked the party activists that if they wanted to end my disqualification, then they should vote for him in large numbers and make a pledge that they will not allow disrespect to the vote.
The PML-N Quaid said that he was serving the people but was suddenly removed from PM office which stopped the wheel of progress in the country. He said that in 2013, Attock and other parts of the country were facing electricity loadshedding of 18 to 20 hours but his government overcame the problem of energy shortages and in future would take steps for generation of inexpensive electricity. He said Attock now had an extensive network of roads and new motorways were being built from Hazara to border of China and from Peshawar to Karachi.
The former prime minister said those who claimed to create a new Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) did injustice to the people and turned the province into ruins. He asked people to recall the days of 2013 when the country was inflicted with terrorism. "I brought electricity, restored peace in Karachi, ended extortion and stopped incidents of terrorism that was a daily occurrence in 2013. Pakistan of 2018 was better than that of 2013."
Nawaz Sharif said Attock now had an extensive network of roads and motorways were built from Hazara to China and from Peshawar to Karachi. He said there were no allegations of stealing from the public exchequer against him and he was removed from office for taking an imaginary salary from his son.
The PML-N Quaid recalled that he remained in jail for 14 months in Attock and Karachi and was declared a hijacker, handcuffed and tied to the seat in an aircraft. Speaking to the people on the occasion, Maryam Nawaz Sharif said name of Nawaz Sharif was not in the Panama papers but he was put on trial while other persons whose names were mentioned in the papers were not called for an investigation.
