The people of Pakistan consider Nawaz Sharif – the PML-N supremo – as the last hope and he would rescue Pakistan from the turbulent times, said senior party leaders Saturday as the former prime minister will land in Pakistan next week on Oct 21.
Talking to reports after appearing before an anti-terrorism court, Javed Latif, who is considered to be one of the diehard supporter of Nawaz, said it was the three-time prime minister who had made Pakistan a nuclear power and tackled the terrorism and loadshedding crises.
He said that the friendly nations trusted Nawaz only – an apparent reference to the fact that the PML-N supremo chose Saudi Arabia as his first destination before returning to the country. He is scheduled to reach the United Arab Emirates from where he will fly back home.
Earlier in April, Nawaz and his daughter had spent weeks in the kingdom where he reportedly discussed matters related to mutual concerns with a special focus on the economic and political crises being faced by Pakistan.
Speaking on the occasion, former information minister Marriyum Aurangzeb stressed that the right to govern was of the party voted into power by the people.
The PML-N leader said Nawaz didn’t flee from courts and prison, she remarked, adding that he would fix the state of affairs yet again.
She recalled that cases had been initiated against them during the PTI chairman’s stint in the government and those currently in jail were facing the wrath of Almighty Allah.
Marriyum said that Shehbaz Sharif during his 16-month government saved the country from defaulting like Sri Lanka. “The country [now] needs Nawaz Sharif. He will return on Oct 21 and share his vision,” she told reporters.
