JHELUM: Former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif left Jhelum today, continuing his journey towards Lahore in the shape of a rally.
The rally has reached Gujrat where his supporters are already present to greet him.
Earlier, the rally reached Lala Musa and was welcomed by a huge amount of supporters in the city. According to reports, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader is expected to reach Gujranwala today, which is located at a distance of 100 kilometres from Jhelum.
According to Maryam Nawaz Sharif’s twitter, Nawaz Sharif is expected to reach Gujrat and address his supporters after the Juma prayers.
He is expected to reach Lahore after crossing Kharian, Lala Musa, Gujrat, Wazirabad, Gujranwala, Kamoonki, and Shahdara.
Senior party leaders Pervaiz Rasheed, Saad Rafique, Amir Muqam and Abid Sher Ali, among others, are with the ousted prime minister in the rally.
Nawaz Sharif, in his address in Jhelum on Thursday evening, said that he wants to change the country for the better and is not hungry for power.
He also said that he wants to see a peaceful and prosperous Pakistan.
In a statement, he also complained that five honourable judges ousted him, a democratically elected leader, with just a stroke of a pen.
“There was no corruption, there was no wrong doing.”
He also said that the ‘average duration for a democratically elected prime minister to stay in power is less than a year and a half, whereas dictators can rule for up to ten years at a stretch.’
“Is any court going to punish the dictators who have violated the Constitution?” questioned the former prime minister.
After the address, Nawaz Sharif conducted a meeting with PML-N leaders to discuss future strategy regarding the rally.
On Wednesday, the former prime minister began his ‘homecoming’ rally from the Punjab House to Lahore via the GT Road.
Prior to his departure, Nawaz had held a meeting with top party leaders, including Interior Minister Ahsan Iqbal and AJK Prime Minister Raja Farooq Haider.
Former Interior Minister, Chaudhry Nisar did not take part in the rally due to his ‘ongoing back pain,’ as he later mentioned.
He could not get much farther than Rawalpindi however due to his supporters’ turnout, which forced him to spend the night at the Punjab Camp House in Rawalpindi.
Nawaz began the second day of his ‘homecoming rally’ as he left the Punjab House, Rawalpindi on Thursday.
After crossing the Katcheri Chowk, Rawalpindi, Rawat and the GT Road towns, the rally reached Jhelum on Thursday night.
Nawaz Sharif was disqualified by the Supreme Court on July 28 in its verdict in the Panama Papers case.
The former prime minister, however, decided to ‘go to the people’s court’ to seek their verdict in the shape of a rally from Punjab House, Islamabad to his hometown Lahore.
Nawaz shareef only one leader in Pakistan at this time
A discredited and desperate man clinging on straws to save him self from drowning. He evaded justice several times in the past, but at last, justice has caught up with him. Every Mafia in history has had his day in the court in the end. His rallies and bogus speeches are desperate antics, they are of no avail, on the contrary they will land him in even deeper trouble.
