Rather than being driven by a personal agenda to become prime minister or president, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) filed the memo case in the Supreme Court in national interest to discern truth from falsehood in the matter, PML-N President Nawaz Sharif said on Thursday.
Addressing the key distribution ceremony for the Yellow Cab Scheme at Al-Hamra Hall on Thursday, Nawaz said those behind the memo must be exposed. He said, “Premiership, ministries and being ruler are valueless. I just want to restore the glory which Pakistan has lost due to the corruption and mismanagement of the present government.”
He said the PML-N had not tried to enter the doors of power but some elements were trying to attack the Sharifs which should be stopped. Nawaz said, “Allegations have been made that we have accumulated assets beyond our means but our most valuable asset is our nation.”
He said the PML-N would arrange mark up-free loans for youth after coming into power. He said the Punjab government scheme to provide 20,000 yellow cabs could have increased to 2 million if the federal government had backed it. He promised to distribute more yellow cabs soon.
“Apart from 3 to 4 percent bank charges, the Punjab government has not taken any mark-up on yellow cabs. We saved Rs 960 million on the yellow cabs, having negotiated a contract at Rs 50,000 less than the market rate. The credit goes to the Punjab CM Shahbaz Sharif,” he said.
SC will expose the truth in memo case: Nawaz
