Indians will call Pakistanis their 'master': PML-N Chief Shehbaz Sharif
Shehbaz Sharif, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Prime Ministerial candidate, said that people can change his name if he doesn't take Pakistan ahead of India after coming into power, The Express Tribune reported. "They (Indians) will come to Wagah Border and call Pakistanis their master," said the PML-N Chief, who was addressing a rally in Sargodha district in Punjab province. Here's more.
Shehbaz, the former Punjab Chief Minister, said that he would bring Pakistan at par with Malaysia and Turkey. He added that he would visit Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad and Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan "to learn from them and make Pakistan a great nation again".
Sharif said that Pakistan cannot become a great nation by voting for leaders like Imran Khan who have made false promises to their nation "The U-turn signs should be removed from roads and should be replaced by the picture of Imran Khan," he said, adding that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chief's politics is based on baseless allegations and false promises.
Sharif was the Chief Minister of Punjab province from June 2013 to June 2018. He was elected as PML-N President in March after his elder brother, Nawaz Sharif, was disqualified as the party president following a Supreme Court verdict in the Elections Act 2017 case.
The PML-N chief said Nawaz Sharif came back to Pakistan leaving his ailing wife in London but Sharif and his daughter Maryam Nawaz were arrested at the airport. Both Sharif and Maryam have been sentenced by a court to 10 and seven years in prison, respectively, for corruption charges. Maryam's husband Muhammad Safdar was also jailed for one year.
