Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Nawaz Sharif on Thursday said he would conduct “economic blasts” if he came into power, adding that all self-centered people had gathered to share power in Islamabad.
Talking to reporters, Nawaz said his government had earlier conducted nuclear blasts and now would conduct “economic blasts” if a chance were given to him. He welcomed PML-N’s alliance with Sindh United Front, saying this coalition would help bring a true leadership to power. Nawaz said PML-N would never support partition of Sindh, adding that if his party got into power, distribution of water among provinces would be implemented in accordance with the 1991-formula.
The former prime minister said his party did not believe in blame game, however, suggested that politics should be based on public interest. The PML-N president said he would not meet President Asif Ali Zardari through the backdoor. “Zardari’s Sindh card has lost credit,” he added.
To a query regarding Rehman Malik’s statement, Nawaz said it was someone else’s turn to go to jail, adding that he would go to Saudi Arabia, but for Umrah. He said everybody knew who was behind launching defamation campaigns against him. To a query, Nawaz said like other Pakistanis, the people of Sindh also wanted economic revolution, adding that he took up revolutionary steps during his last term in power and would go for economic explosion this time round. He said democracy was being dealt a blow through chalking out contempt of court laws, adding that the law was made to hide corruption. “The PPP should not chalk out a law in haste only to protect a handful of people,” he said. “It should sit across a table with us and other parties and prepare a law through collective wisdom”. Commenting on NAB cases, Nawaz said the cases NAB wanted to open had no basis. He said “some people” did not want to see Pakistan progressing and called upon the government allies to part ways with the present regime in view of the manner in which it was dealing with the Supreme Court.
