Former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Tuesday said that neither India nor the US is responsible for the cash crunch in Pakistan.
He also said that we have hit our own feet with an axe.
They indirectly attacked Pakistan Army. During a conversation with Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz ticket contenders, Nawaz Sharif said that he was ousted from power thrice in 1993, 1999 and 2017. u
He said, “India, America or even Afghanistan are not responsible for where Pakistan’s economy has reached today. “In fact, we have shot ourselves in the foot.”
Nawaz Sharif said, “Judges garland them (military dictators) when they break the Constitution and legitimize their rule.
When it comes to the Prime Minister, the judges approve his removal from the post. Judges also approve the act of dissolving the Parliament. Why so?”
The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz supremo attacked former ISI chief General Faiz Hamid for his role in ousting him from power in 2017. He said, “A case has been filed in the Supreme Court against those people (Faiz Hamid and others) who had said that if Nawaz comes out of jail, his two years of hard work will be wasted.”
Let us tell you that Nawaz Sharif returned to Pakistan from London in October after ending four years of exile. He is the only politician in the history of Pakistan who became Prime Minister for a record three times.
On Monday, Nawaz Sharif said that in 1999 I was the Prime Minister in the morning and in the evening I was declared a kidnapper. Similarly, in 2017, I was ousted from power for not taking salary from my son.
“The army did this because they wanted to bring their chosen person to power,” he said, referring to his arch rival Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf supremo Imran Khan.
Last week, Nawaz Sharif was acquitted in the Al-Azizia Steel Mill corruption case.
He has already been acquitted in the Avenfield corruption case, in which he was convicted in July 2018 and sentenced to ten years in prison. He has also got relief in the Flagship corruption case.
