Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) central leader and MNA Hamza Shehbaz has said that Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif conducted nuclear tests on May 28, 1998 after ignoring all the pressure from foreign powers, due to which the defense of the country became invincible.
He said that Nawaz Sharif will give a prosperous and problem-free Pakistan to the nation by 2018. Addressing a ceremony in connection with Yaum-e-Takbeer at Aiwan-e-Iqbal, Hamza Shehbaz said that unfortunately some elements are once again trying to undermine democracy and hamper the process of national development.
“Before lecturing others, the godfather of offshore companies Imran Khan should give answers for the misdeeds of Jehangir Tareen who has got his loans written off, and Aleem Khan who has been involved in land grabbing”, he said.
He said that Imran Khan refused to accept the mandate of the people in 2013 but judicial commission of Supreme Court clarified the facts. Hamza Shehbaz said that the prime minister himself wrote a letter to Supreme Court for the formation of judicial commission to probe Panama Leaks, because his hands are clean, adding that the PTI chief ‘ran away’ from assembly as he did not have any answer.
He said that Imran Khan should know that Ittefaq Foundry was the biggest industry of Asia at a time when Nawaz Sharif studied at Government College, and added that Imran Khan is afraid of the progress made by the present government.
He said that those who have not been able to face mice in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) are challenging lions in Punjab and will meet failure. Hamza Shehbaz said that Nawaz Sharif came out for restoration of judiciary when Imran Khan was nowhere to be seen.
He further said that National Accountability Bureau (NAB) in Musharraf’s era could not prove corruption of even a single penny against the Sharif family and that no one can point out any irregularity in investment of billions of dollars today.
He said that Nawaz Sharif’s government enjoys full confidence of the masses and that the process of progress and prosperity of the country will continue. He said that people of Pakistan are waiting for 2018 elections so they can vote for the PML-N. Hamza Shehbaz further said that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif will return to the country once he is completely recovery.
The PML-N workers were extremely enthusiastic on the occasion and were carrying models of Chagi Mountain and missile to commemorate Youm-e-Takbeer.
Earlier, a large number of assembly members, office-bearers of PML-N Lahore and women workers welcomed Hamza Shehbaz. A prayer, led by Khawaja Ahmed Hasaan, was held for the recovery of the prime minister. Pervaiz Malik said that special prayers will be offered in every party office on May 31 for the health of Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif.
