Nawaz Sharif stresses upon unity among state institutions to take Pakistan out of crises

Lahore: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Supremo and former three-time Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif stressed upon the unity among the state institutions and all the parties to take the country out of crises.

Nawaz Sharif said he had no intention to take revenge from anyone, and just wanted to see Pakistan as economically strong country.

He was addressing a rally after touching down in Lahore as he left the country four years ago for medical treatment in London. He was there for self-imposed exile.

The rally, organized by the PML-N to welcome their leader back, drew party members and enthusiastic supporters from across the country. The Minar-e-Pakistan ground was adorned with stunning electric lighting for the event.

Nawaz Sharif began his speech with a heartfelt verse, expressing his enduring love for the people. He emphasized his loyalty and commitment to serving Pakistan, recounting his efforts to resolve the nation's issues.

Despite facing what he termed as "false" cases, he commended the resilience of PML-N members and noted that no one had abandoned the party. He reminded the audience of his accomplishments, such as making Pakistan a nuclear power and resolving power shortages.

The former premier also reflected on the personal sacrifices he had made and shared the emotional story of not being able to pay his final respects to his mother, father, and wife due to imprisonment.

Nawaz Sharif mentioned the 1998 nuclear tests and the pressure he faced from world leaders, including then-US President Bill Clinton, to refrain from conducting them. He claimed that Bill Clinton offered him $5 billion in 1999 to prevent the tests, but he refused the offer in the interest of Pakistan.

Regarding inflation, Nawaz Sharif compared the rising prices of essential commodities like bread and petrol, expressing disbelief at being ousted for such reasons. He highlighted the economic model of the 1990s and its potential to reduce unemployment.

He discussed the current economic challenges, emphasizing the difficulties faced by ordinary Pakistanis in providing for their families and paying bills. Nawaz Sharif also mentioned that these economic issues had been ongoing for a long time.

Nawaz Sharif shared his vision for Pakistan's future, his desire for stronger neighborly relations, and the need for unity among the nation's institutions.
