Nawaz speaks with characteristic gusto in party stronghold
GUJRANWALA (Dunya News) – PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif reiterated on Saturday that he would not rest until Pakistan regained the lost ground in all spheres.
Speaking to an election gathering in the PML-N stronghold, an excited Nawaz took a dig at the PTI by saying that they considered youth on their side by creating chaos on social media. “But the fact is that those sitting in front of me are the real youth – country’s asset,” he said.
These youngsters, he said, respected their elders. “My heart throbs for these young people,” he said while promising jobs to them.

Citing Transparency International’s recent report, Nawaz boasted that it claimed that there was the least corruption when he was in power.

Not only that, he said, the prices of bread, sugar, fuel and electricity were far less than they cost today.

The former premier said the PML-N government rid the people of loadshedding, the dollar strength against rupee was quite low and the country witnessed 6pc growth rate. “We bade goodbye to the IMF which vouchsafed for Pakistan’s progress at that time,” he said.
He recalled that CPEC projects were signed with Pakistan and there was $60 billion investment in the country. “We were working day in and day out for the country whereas they (a reference to the PTI) were launching protests,” he said.
“The credit for all the development goes to Shehbaz Sharif who graciously lauds me for it,” he said.
“Despite all this I was sent packing (from prime minister’s office) and today these very judges are submitting their resignations. One of these judges was set to be the chief justice… Had my government been allowed to continue, there would have been no unemployment now,” he said.

He also told the gathering that a small car would cost no more than Rs500,000 to Rs1 million during his stint in power. Similarly, a motorcycle would cost Rs70,000 and a tractor Rs800,000, and it now costs Rs3.8 million.
He said a great deal of injustice had been done to Pakistan but the youngsters should not lose heart. He said he would bring the country back to the development path.
