PML-N President Nawaz Sharif Thursday said that he was seeing a change in the thinking of people of Sindh and with their support he will rid the country of ‘looters’.
Addressing a public gathering in PPP’s political bastion Larkana, the former prime minister lashed out at President Zardari and vowed to end his administration’s “Dakko Raj” (Dacoit’s Rule) with the help of the people.Nawaz thanked Mumtaz Bhutto, who merged his Sindh National Front with the PML-N last year, for inviting him to address the ‘huge rally’ at Peoples Stadium Naudero, near President Camp House.He claimed that the people in the forefront of the current Pakistan People’s Party government had nothing to do with the ideology of the party and its martyred leader Benazir Bhutto.
“I wonder where BB’s party has gone. The government has failed to arrest the assassins of the leader of their party. Arresting her killers should have been the top priority of the government,” Nawaz remarked and vowed that he would bring the killers of Benazir behind the bars.
The PML-N president said that people of Sindh and rest of the country were fed up with the current government which had done nothing for their betterment. He alleged that Zardari looted people’s wealth and stashed it in Swiss banks.
Nawaz said those who had voted for the PPP had done so ‘out of love’, however, the province had failed to experience any change for the better. He said unemployment was at its peak in Sindh, adding that if work had been done on educational institutions, the province’s youth would have had degrees in their hands.
The PML-N chief said his party had worked to serve the people in the past, adding that if it was voted into power again, it would work tirelessly for the purpose of public welfare. He said the masses are well aware as to who is a ‘looter’ and who is a real servant of the nation.
Sindhi people are alive and they won’t vote to the ‘traitors’ in future. He vowed that he would keep coming to help his ‘Sindhi brothers’ as he had done in the past and serve them without any discrimination of cast, creed and political affiliation. He also pledged to connect Larkana and Naudero through a motorway if his party emerged victorious in the upcoming elections.
Nawaz regretted that there is lawlessness in the whole country. He recalled that during his past tenure as prime minister, he had eliminated the dacoits from Sindh in three months and if given chance, he would eradicate this menace again. The PLM-N leader also said that he would resume peace in Balochistan and Karachi, and end extortion, target killing, unrest from the financial hub of the country.
Former chief minister and governor of Sindh, Mumtaz Ali Bhutto said in his address that Sindhis are facing poverty, joblessness, load-shedding and worst kind of law and order situation but the rulers were not interested in addressing these issues of the poor even after a rule of five years. He said that PML-N will eliminate poverty from Sindh through new developmental schemes and provide job opportunities to the youth.
