Lahore: Chief Minister Punjab Shahbaz Sharif has said the people of Pakistan will not allow any adventurist to undermine the for satisfying his own lust of power.
In a statement, here today, he said that the nation faced Musharraf dictatorship and later the malpractices of a corrupt government continuously for 12 years and now when there are bright prospects of formation of a public-friendly and honest government which is responsive to the public aspirations in near future some elements are trying to hinder the process of change through ballet by destroying the whole system. He said those who offered unconditional support to Musharraf government and went abroad leaving the nation to face the torture of loadshedding, price-hike and unemployment under the present government, have not right to talk about peoples’ problems.
Contrary to this, Shahbaz Sharif said we stood by the people in these difficult times and exposed the corruption of the rulers and challenged them at every forum. He said it was the first government in the history of Pakistan which in order to share the sufferings of the people set up camp offices with its cabinet in the scorching heat of the summer season to protest against loadshedding. He said the change cannot be brought about with statements and speeches but through practical measures and he feels that those who are trying to hinder the process of elections through a so-called revolution are in fact afraid of the thumping success of Pakistan Muslim League-N and its Quaid Muhammad Nawaz Sharif, which is only a matter of time.
The Chief Minister further said people have already suffered a lot at the hands of unelected governments and those trying to derail democracy are criminals of the nation and will never be forgiven by the history. Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif questioned how a certain group having specific interests and doubtful agenda can hijack the bright future of the country and aspirations of 18 crore people of Pakistan.
