If PML-N agenda of development given time, destiny of Pakistan would have changed: Nawaz Sharif

ISLAMABAD: Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif said on Monday that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz believes in serving the masses and if its agenda of development was given ten to twenty years time, destiny of Pakistan would be changed.

Addressing party lawmakers alongside Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) President and Punjab Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Nawaz said, if the party legislators will support him they will definitely win. Castigating Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairperson, Nawaz said, Imran Khan should stop his duplicity and spreading lies as this was not the method to make a new Pakistan.

He asked Imran what his party has done for public welfare in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), where the PTI was in power for past five years.Talking about the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), he asked why the PPP did not initiate the Karachi Operation in 2013 on its own. "Karachi has turned into a pile of garbage," he remarked. Referring to PPP co-chairman and former president Asif Ali Zardari, Nawaz said,there were allegations against him of taking the country into the dark ages.

Nawaz Sharif challenged his opponents in KP and Sindh to compare their provinces to Punjab, where the PML-N is in power. He also asked his opponents to make comparison of Karachi and Peshawar with Punjab capital Lahore and they will feel the difference as Lahore was far better.

He said he launched work on several motorway projects after coming to power in 2013 and with their completion dream of the people will be realized. He said if his party agenda of service and development was given 10 to 20 years time,destiny of the nation would be changed.But he said unfortunately he was not allowed to serve the people of Pakistan by interventions.
