ISLAMABAD: PML-N Quaid Nawaz Sharif said Friday that priorities set by the present government hurt democracy.
The
PML Quaid while addressing a news conference about the points he raised
during Thursday’s All Parties Conference (APC) said if parliamentary
resolutions were implemented then the country would not be in this
position.
Stating that the country would be united in the face
of any external threat Nawaz said it was time that we did some “soul
searching and started asking tough questions”. Sharif added that it was
naive to think that there was no truth to accusations being leveled
against Pakistan.
Speaking on Pakistan’s economic dependence
Sharif said this was enslaving the country to foreign powers. He said
economic slavery has turned into a political slavery.
The PML-N
chief said it was impossible for one party to solve the problems being
faced by the country and that a joint effort would be required. He
urged the government to refrain from corruption and honor judiciary’s
decisions to improve its governance.
He maintained that the
time had come to break the begging bowl. Announcing his party’s
10-year support for national agenda, he criticized the government for
rampant corruption.
The PML-N chief again criticized President
Asif Ali Zardari for writing an article in an American newspaper
immediately after May 2 Abbottabad raid. The former premier refused to
divulge APC details. Online
