Talking to media persons in Pir Jo Goth, Nawaz said if the money in Swiss banks was not clean, it should be brought back to Pakistan. Directly addressing President Zardari, he asked, “If your assets in the Swiss banks are legal, why is your government not writing a letter to the Swiss authorities?”
Nawaz said the president had sabotaged the Charter of Democracy (CoD), which had led to the current crisis. He said that the government should obey the orders of the Supreme Court, adding that the court’s decision was right but the government had adopted a policy of fighting and defiance and created a crisis by confronting institutions, including the Supreme Court.
“Why is the prime minister not implementing the apex court’s orders?” he questioned. The PML-N chief said if the solution to the existing crisis lay in resignation from assemblies then his party was ready to resign today. However, he said his party did not resign because in the absence of his legislators the ruling party might pass resolutions that could be harmful for the country. The PML-N chief said all political forces should unite to pull the country out of multiple crises.
Nawaz said that he had met with late Pir Pagara while he was in hospital and discussed the unification of the PML factions since that was a wish of the late PML-F chief. He said he would try his level best to fulfill the wish of the late Pir.
The PML-N chief said the government and its coalition partners were demonstrating irresponsibility given the current political crisis. He said that if the government were exploiting the Supreme Court then coalition partners were equally responsible for this exploitation. Nawaz said the opposition parties would meet again soon.
He said that PML-N’s stance on the formation of new provinces was very clear and had already been published in the press. Agencies add: Nawaz Sharif said if the government did not implement the NRO verdict, the PML-N would be in the forefront to ensure full respect to the court and implementation of its verdicts.
Meanwhile, Nawaz Sharif attended a programme held to mark the 25 death anniversary of Shaheed Fazil Raho at Rahoki. Addressing a gathering at Rahoki, Nawaz said if his party came to power, it would protect the rights of poor farmers and interest-free loans would be given for agricultural schemes and jobless youths to eliminate unemployment. He said Shaheed Fazil Raho had always struggled for the protection of rights of poor sections of society, including farmers.
