Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Shehbaz Sharif has said that Nawaz Sharif is coming back to the country not to take “revenge but in fact to rescue the country out of the crisis”.
Addressing a political gathering in Lahore on Wednesday, Shehbaz once again reiterated and confirmed his brother’s homecoming on October 21 and said that Nawaz is coming back to serve the people of Pakistan and to once again recommence the journey towards prosperity.
Asking the party workers to get ready to welcome Nawaz to highlight the injustice done to him, Shehbaz said that the people of Pakistan — due to the ouster of Nawaz — were “in fact deprived of progress and development”.
Commenting on the performance of the Nawaz-led PML-N government, the former PM said that his brother came into power at a time when the country faced long hours of load-shedding. In only four years Nawaz Sharif rooted out load-shedding, he added.
“During Nawaz Sharif’s tenure flour was at Rs35 per kilogramme,” the PML-N president said while comparing economic indicators and inflation during Nawaz’s previous term as premier with that of now. “I will work with Nawaz Sharif to put the country back on track for development and growth.”
Recalling the PML-N supremo’s achievements, Shehbaz said that his brother — despite then-US president Bill Clinton’s telephone call — conducted six nuclear tests in response to India’s atomic tests.
The country’s progress and development were halted, Shehbaz said while terming the 2018 general elections as “rigged”.
It is pertinent to know that the former three-time prime minister will return to Pakistan on October 21 and address a public gathering at 6 p.m. at Minar-e-Pakistan on the same day, senior PML-N leader Rana Sanaullah revealed on Tuesday.
