Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif said on Tuesday that incompetent and corrupt rulers had put the sovereignty of the country at stake. Talking to reporters after a meeting with party delegations from Sindh and Punjab, Nawaz said that due to poor policies, mismanagement and massive corruption, national institutions were at the verge of collapse. He said that uncontrolled inflation, poverty, unemployment and power crisis had forced people to commit suicides. Nawaz said that Karachi, the industrial hub and base of the country’s economy, was in the hands of extortionists, target killers and land grabbers who do not care for government and laws enforcement agencies which were busy in politicking over the issue. The PML-N chief called for joint efforts to pull the country out of the prevailing crises. He said that all sections of the society should move forward to rid the country of corrupt leadership and protect the future of the coming generations. No leader or political party could alone resolve the ongoing problems in the country, and all stakeholders should join hands for national cause, he added. The PML-N chief said that corruption was at the root of power crisis and other ills confronting the country, adding that his party would rid the country of all evils after coming into power. The PML-N delegation from Sindh was led by former state minister Capt (r) Haleem Saddiqui, while the delegation from Punjab was represented by PML-N Lahore President Pervaiz Malik and MNA Sardar Ayaz Sadiq.
