summer cricket camp former prime minister said that the government
policies had turned Pakistan into a banana state where democracy had
never been given chance to grow up while corruption and
unaccountability made the situation worst here.

to probe into the Abbottabad incident, adding that the delay had
damaged the image of Pakistan in the world. Nawaz Sharif said that
circumstances of the country become the most awful and with out
accountability, the country could not be run.

the government polices dragged the country into poverty and turmoil.

semi final of the world cup and make the nation proud but mishandling
in his case revealed the incompatibility of the cricket board. Sharif

heros were being disgraced here. He further said cricket talent was
spoiling here as there were lack of grounds and stadiums in the country. Online
