SANGLA HILL: Local leadership of PML-N gave a rousing welcome to former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on his visit to Sangla Hill here on Sunday.
Mr Sharif visited Sangla Hill with his daughter Maryam Nawaz where they addressed a massive public gathering at Sangla Hill Stadium. Speaking on the occasion Minister for Kashmir, Gilgat & Baltistan affairs Ch. Muhammad Barjees Tahir said that Sharifs had always considered Sangla Hill as their second home and they had approved a number of mega projects for this city. He said Main Sahib uplifted economic growth in all walks of life.
The ousted premier Nawaz Sharif while addressing the charged gathering said that PML-N was still the most popular party among the masses. He said that the party would again form its government in the centre and provinces. Nawaz further elaborated, “We have changed the darkness into lights, CPEC and motorway projects were launched and PTI as well as PPP has done nothing except raising hollow slogan.
Terming PPP & PTI as two sides of the same coin he said both the parties a worthless bunch of politicians who have been hatching conspiracies against the country. Taking a jibe against IK and Zardari he said, “They are rubber stamps cannot be fair with the common public”.
“We have sworn to secure the nation”, Nawaz said adding that he was disqualified on account of not taking salary by his son, it is an exceptional decision of the court in the eyes of the world justice. Sharif also hinted at bringing amendments to the Constitution. “It is believed that they [courts] will disqualify me for life [so you should] give me enough votes to amend the Constitution and get the [disqualification] decision overturned,” he told the public.
“PTI and PPP should see how the people of Sangla Hill have come out in my support which is a proof that the decision to oust me was not accepted by the public”, Sharif said adding that the judiciary’s verdict to oust him has hampered development of the country.
The former premier said he had been working round the clock for the development of Pakistan while the PTI & PPP had not been able to generate a single MEGA project during its tenure so far. In her first appearance at a public gathering here the former prime minister’s daughter Maryam Nawaz started her speech in Urdu and thanked workers for showing up at PML-N’s power show. Terming Mian Nawaz Sharief as the leader of Muslim World she said, “PML-N workers are the heirs of the party”.
“Today, the people’s court has taken notice [of Sharif’s disqualification by Supreme Court] and gave a verdict to confirm that Nawaz Sharif is Sadiq and Amin,” she said.
While referring to the PTI chairman, Maryam said conspiracies were being hatched for five years against the incumbent government and liars sitting on containers completely failed to meet the expectations of the Public. Referring to new found bonhomie between the PPP & PTI Maryam Nawaz said “Laadla and Cheheta are now Bhai Bhai (brothers).
