Nawaz believes it’s time to replace govt

PML-N Jalsa
GUJRANWALA: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz President Nawaz Sharif addresses a large public gathering in a show of power as elections draw nearer. online

GUJRANWALA - Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Nawaz Sharif told supporters at a rally held in Jinnah Stadium on Saturday that a government that violated the Supreme Court’s decisions and was corrupt and negligent could not be tolerated anymore, and it was time to replace it with the best available team in the country, which he alone possesses.
He said the youth could not be detracted by a “World XI” or “B team” of former president Pervez Musharraf and that the PML-N would bring the country back on the track of sovereignty and self-reliance. Sharif said the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) government had destroyed national institutions such as Pakistan International Airlines, Pakistan Railways and Pakistan Steel Mills just to safeguard its corruption and negligence and that was why poor people had been forced to commit suicide. He said the people had been deprived of their basic rights such as food, health and education and printing currency worth Rs 200 million every day had further hurt the inflation-hit economy. He condemned the price increase in basic utilities such as electricity and gas and said unemployment had reached its highest levels only because of the malpractices of the “Zardari regime”. He said President Asif Ali Zardari was following in the footsteps of former president Pervez Musharraf and ruined the sovereignty of the country. “The green passport was one of the most respected assets in the 90s when Pakistan defied five calls from (former US president) Bill Clinton and became a nuclear state to make its defence invincible,” said Nawaz. He said the Zardari regime had ruined all of this and Pakistan had ended up in the struggling period yet again. Sharif said the PML-N had the wisest brains and a corruption-free team in the country and would make Pakistan a self-reliant economic power. The venue was packed with PML-N supporters. The stadium has a capacity of 25,000-30,000 and chairs for another 30,000 were set on the ground, but when the people started to gather there was no space left to even stand.
The PML-N chief told his supporters that the gathering reminded him of the long march and he saw a ‘mini-long march’ all the way from Lahore to Gujranwala as the people of Pakistan were fed up with this government. Sharif also said that if his party came to power, he would give loans without interest on a non-profit basis to ensure the prosperity of the country. He announced that Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif would visit Gujranwala within 10 days.

    • ali.imran says:

      who the hell you are to say such words just STFU. why just dont you leave the country? He is pakistani and married to pakistani women and a muslim unlike your leader who still dosnt know how to tie his hands during Prayer. He is not Munafiq like Imran who plays music and namaz on same stage. Dont you be ashamed when your leader says Khaild bin Waleed was against islam and then turned to be a good muslim because of prophet pbuh and he indirectly compares himself with prophet Muhammad pbuh

  2. THE MAD NEWS says:

    Amazing Politics in Pakistan today . PML (N) 4 times rules over Punjab but no result . I think this there must be change and Imran Khan will be the Leading leader of Votes

  3. UK OBSERVER says:

    Gen Musharaf's failure in governance is testified by the fact that both Nawaz Sharif and Late Benazir Bhutto returned to Pakistan.

  4. Shams ul Islam says:

    It was all hollow chants and slogans. There was no substance to Nawaz or any PML leaders in this show. They were following style and approach of PTI which looked too pretentious from a party that couldn't delivered in the last 25 years. There was also fear factor in their speeches. Youngsters like myself are not impressed with your grant of laptops. It is not coming from your own pocket and don't try to humiliate us through toys.

Jst go and see other parts of punjab, And then tell me how much Progress PML make in those parts. PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZ TRY to under stand, We dont want overbridges, And some roads, We want education, We want corruption free country, we want law n order,.

      • imran tirmazi says:

        for your information sir! patvari system is already computerized and such slogans should be spoken in pti rally. Thana culture which your leader is talking can be only in USA where is not caste voting. let have an example where jats live in majority will elect a jat for Thana and minorities will have nobody who will listen them. your leader would be living in grand house like he is living right now. The free education your leader talk why its fee is 120,000 ruppee a year in namal college? why its over casting for dengue test? if you never been to shukat khanam labs then pay a visit you would come to know that they have almost thrice more prices then normal labs.

  6. Resignations dainy k liy india say koi ay ga kia….? Mian sb resignation day k "Go Gillani Go " pay ain……agar "Go Zardari Go" krna hy to IMprachmrnt is the only constitutional way…..waisy Zardari ko president b ap ny he banwaya tha if u remember.

  7. N Habib says:

    Mr. Sharif! Your talk is very pointed and convincing. Why? Because we already know and experience what you have said to the public in Jinnah Stadium, Gujranwala. Please wear nappies, a 'bib' and pull on a 'choosni' and then talk to the people of Pakistan. Maybe they will recollect the two stints you had as prime minister and messed up your reputation by raiding the Supreme Court and then freezing all foreign currency accounts. Salams to Pakistan and a Happy New Year 2012
