Nawaz Sharif says inflation making life of common man miserable

Former prime minister and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif on Thursday said that these days inflation in the country was so high that a common man could not make his both ends meet, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

Addressing the party workers at Murree, he wondered how on earth could a man earning between Rs20,000 and Rs25,000 fulfill his as well as his family’s needs.

He said that during the PTI government, poor people would often go without food.

Nawaz said he was ousted from power thrice; first in 1993, then in 1999 and then in 2017. “Is this the way countries are run?” he questioned.  

“I was disqualified by the Supreme Court for not receiving salary from my son,” he said, adding what happened after my disqualification was complete devastation of the country.

نوازشریف کے خلاف کچھ اور نہیں ملا تو اسے بیٹے سے تنخواہ نہ لینے پر فارغ کردیا گیا. کیا کسی ملک میں ایسا ہوتا ہے؟ پہلی مثال پاکستان نے قائم کی کہ اپنے ملک کے وزیراعظم کو بیٹے سے تنخواہ نہ لینے پر نااہل کردیا۔ قائد مسلم لیگ ن محمدنوازشریف pic.twitter.com/ERoqxSRK8Q

The former prime minister said that it was when he was the prime minister in 1998 that he preferred exploding nukes to receiving $5 billion from the USA. “And it was under the PML-N government that Pakistan’s name was removed from the grey list,” he added.

“Not only that new projects were launched when I was the prime minister, but also those which had been left unfinished by the previous governments were completed,” he said, adding, “Power projects, which previously took 20 years to complete, were completed in just one-and-a-half years under the PML-governments.”

11 ہزار میگاواٹ اضافی ہم نے اپنے سسٹم میں شامل کیا اور لوڈشیڈنگ ختم کی۔ دن رات محنت کرکے ہم نے منصوبے بنائے اور انکو مکمل کیا ڈیڑھ ڈیڑھ سال میں ہم نے بجلی کا کارخانہ مکمل کیا جو ماضی کی حکومتیں 20 , 20 سال میں بھی مکمل نہیں کرپاتی تھیں۔قائد مسلم لیگ ن محمدنوازشریف pic.twitter.com/VLB3ujgEMn

Nawaz said he was glad to meet the party workers.

He went on to say that his association with the people of Murree was decades old. “I would come to Murree with my family even when I was at school,” he said, and added, “Murree is my second home.”

الیکشن جیتے , حکومت میں آنے اور وزیراعظم بننے کیلیے جھوٹ نہیں بولنا چاہیے جو بات بھی کہیں اسے سوچ سمجھ کے کہیں اور پھر اس پہ عمل کریں۔ہمارے دور کے بعد جو دور تھا اس نے پاکستان کے کلچر کو خراب کردیا ہے تباہی پھیر دی ہے۔قائد مسلم لیگ ن محمدنوازشریف pic.twitter.com/resUGlQH2u

“I still remember those buses which used to ply on Murree roads in the past,” he reminisced.

ایک بہت اچھا رشتہ ہے نوازشریف کا مری کے بہن بھائیوں سے , یہ رشتہ بہت پرانا ہے اور دن بدن مضبوط سے مضبوط تر ہوتا رہا ہے۔جب میں نے وزیراعلیٰ پنجاب کا حلف اٹھایا تھا تو تب جو سب سے خوبصورت ترین سڑک پاکستان میں بنی تھی وہ اسلام آباد سے مری بنی تھی۔قائد مسلم لیگ ن محمدنوازشریف pic.twitter.com/6vFlxFpAce
