Nawaz Sharif says jugglers trying to befool masses

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Monday said with remarkable improvement brought about in every segment of life and economy during the last over three years, the PML-N government has put the country on the path of real progress and prosperity.

Addressing a party convention after being re-elected PML-N President, PM Nawaz said there is huge difference in today’s Pakistan and that of 2013, when the country had come on the brink of economic collapse.

Without naming Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI), the PM said every era had witnessed some jugglers trying to befool the masses. Even today these elements are misleading the masses and indulging in humiliation of people.

But we are not afraid of these, he remarked.

Referring to the PTI’s planned protest in Islamabad next month, the premier said instead of serving the people of a province where they had the mandate, they were spending their time at containers.

Today, the people of KPK (Khyber Pakhtoonkhawa) are looking for the man who had promised them a ‘New Pakistan’, Nawaz Sharif said.

They had to struggle for months to gather the people for a public meeting, he said.

But now they (people) will not turn up, he remarked.

Nawaz Sharif said his party did not believe in blame games and hurling accusations. ‘Our focus is on serving the people.’

The PM recounted the government’s achievements since its inception in 2013 and said power load- shedding has been lessened, economic indicators were positive and terrorism has been curbed to a large extent.

Today’s Pakistan is changing and developing and it is being acknowledged in the world, the PM noted.

He said Pakistan had been included in the list of fast growing countries and leading magazines were publishing positive articles about Pakistan.

The PM said Pakistan’s stock market has been included in the five fastest growing stock markets of the world.
