Former Prime Minister of Pakistan Nawaz Sharif’s speech at the All Parties Conference (APC) or should I say Association of Pakistan’s Corrupt held this past Sunday might have sounded defiant and revolutionary by his party and cheerleaders in the media but it sadly showed a bitter person who can’t handle being out of power and spewing partial truths.
First, it was a relief to see that the former PM was healthy and articulate while delivering his speech and that the whole nation saw it on TV. However, I wonder where are all those in the media and PMLN who claimed that Nawaz was near death if he didn’t get medical treatment abroad? We must thank the Almighty (SWT) for miracles.
I believe Nawaz Sharif had to bite his tongue several times while complimenting PPP co-chairperson Bilawal Zardari, thanking him for the invitation to address the APC, and addressing him as ‘Mr Chairman’. We all know the bitter rivalry between them, as PPP is that party the former PM used to claim was corrupt, tried to unseat him and battled them in courts.
Nawaz claims that conspiracies occur to unseat elected Prime Ministers of Pakistan. However, I may remind him that he played a major role conspiring with the establishment in the past to topple governments especially twice against Benazir Bhutto in 1990 and 1996.
Nawaz’s complaint about the establishment of becoming a ‘state above the state’ is music to the ears of India and other enemies of Pakistan.
