Pakistan’s former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif once again hailed India saying neighbouring countries have reached the moon but Pakistan has still ‘not risen’ from the earth.
Earlier this year, India created history by becoming the first country to land on the south pole of the Moon with the spectacular success of the Chandrayan-3 mission.
“Our neighbours have reached the moon but we haven’t even risen from the ground so far. It can’t keep going on like this,” Sharif said while addressing the Pakistan Muslim League_ Nawaz (PML-N) cadre in Islamabad on Wednesday.
Speaking on the economic crisis faced by the country, Sharif further stressed that Pakistan is responsible for its downfall.
“We have been responsible for our own downfall, otherwise this nation would have reached a different place,” said Sharif, who is running for Prime Minister for a fourth time.
“In 2013, we were facing severe load shedding of electricity, we came and ended it, ended terrorism from all over the country, restored the peace of Karachi, highways were built, CPEC came, and a new era of development and prosperity began,” he added.
Earlier, while addressing the (PML-N) event in Lahore on Tuesday, Sharif casually remarked that neither India nor the United States were behind Pakistan’s miseries, but the cash-strapped nation shot itself in the foot.
“Today where Pakistan has reached (poor economic state) this is not done by India, the US or even Afghanistan. We shot ourselves in our own foot…they (military) imposed a selected (government) on this nation by rigging the 2018 polls that led to the sufferings of the people and downfall of the economy,” Sharif was quoted by PTI as saying.
The three-time prime minister went on to slam the judges for legitimising military dictators. “The judges garland them (dictators) and legitimise their rule when they break the Constitution. When it comes to a prime minister the judges stamp his ouster. The judges also approve the act of dissolution of the parliament…why?” he asked.
