LAHORE (Dunya News) - Ousted Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Monday visited Allama Iqbal mausoleum in Lahore on the occasion of Pakistan’s 70th Independence Day.

Nawaz accompanied by Ahsan Iqbal, Saad Rafique and Hamza Shehbaz laid a floral wreath at the mausoleum and offred Fateha.

While talking to media, Nawaz Sharif said that doctrine of necessity split Pakistan. "We invented doctrine of necessity and ignored the democratic norms and values as a result of which Pakistan broke apart and split," he said.

He asserted that Pakistan is not a property of a few people but belongs to all.

Nawaz Sharif notified that the country suffered a great setback due to the breakage of the goverment process. "Economy plummeted due to impediment in continuity," he said.

"This day had not come if we had respected the sanctity of vote. This must be the top agenda of Pakistan," he pronounced.

"We took the country towards progress and delivered our promises in four years and had not even yet completed our five-year term. The people of this country know what we have done. PML-N is all set for constitution amendments and legislation," said Nawaz.

Nawaz Sharif articulated that they will amend the constituion if they get a chance and will provide inexpensive justice to the people as part of their next big agenda.

"The sea of people who travelled with my convoy from Islamabad to Lahore didn t followed us for nothing. They know our aims of strengthening the country and the development we have brought. I could see hope in the eyes of the young people who accompanied me," he maintained.
