Former Prime Minister and PML (N) President Nawaz Sharif, who has commanded Pakistan three times, while addressing the party’s Parliamentary Board meeting on Saturday, took the names of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
Sharif said that during his tenure, two Prime Ministers of India had come to Pakistan. Not only this, Sharif even said that he had opposed the Kargil war, that is why he was removed from the post.
This statement of Sharif has come at a time when general elections are about to be held in Pakistan and he has recently returned to his country after four years of self-exile.
Even after returning home, Sharif, in his first address, had talked about improving relations with India. This is the second time when Sharif has publicly again advocated improving relations with India.
Sharif said that we have to improve relations with India, Afghanistan and Iran.
Sharif has last chance
In fact, Nawaz Sharif knows that this is his last chance to take charge of the country and bring Pakistan back on track, from the economic front to the political front. However, the question of his becoming Prime Minister will depend on his victory in the elections and the decisions of the pending court cases in which he is embroiled.
Pakistan is caught between decades of populist economics, wasteful spending and economic mismanagement. It will be impossible for Sharif to escape from this responsibility and to get rid of this mess, it is necessary to have good relations with the neighboring countries.
That is why Nawaz Sharif is now requesting the potential MPs of his party to work together to improve relations with neighboring countries, especially India.
The biggest burden on the shoulders of Nawaz Sharif
Now that his biggest political rival and former Prime Minister Imran Khan is in jail, there cannot be a better and bigger opportunity for him to claim the responsibility of saving the country.
Through these statements, he is also trying to set the changing political environment and political narrative in Pakistan.
Pakistan’s political axis has been based on opposition to India. In this, the Kashmir issue has always been adding fuel to the fire, but this time it seems that Sharif is not only trying to win the election field with very careful steps, but also giving a hint of improving relations with neighbors like India. We are on the path of giving a stable and far-reaching government.
Why bitterness between India and Pakistan?
In fact, the common people of Pakistan have become helpless due to economic crisis, unemployment, inflation, fuel crisis, food crisis caused by floods and are wanting better relations with their neighbors so that peace and harmony can be established in the Indian continent and terrorism can be curbed. Can go.
Terrorism has been a major issue in the bitter relations between India and Pakistan. Especially due to terrorists coming from across the border, tension has continued on the border between the two countries and at present all types of bilateral relations between the two countries are disrupted.
What are the challenges before Nawaz?
In such a situation, Nawaz Sharif knows that his primary challenge is to take bold steps to revive and revive the dilapidated economy, bring down inflation, create jobs and restore hope and confidence among the people.
He can present the map of political and economic stability among the Pakistani people under the interim arrangement of Pakistan.
Under this, he is highlighting the possibility of structural reforms, better governance and improvement in economic fundamentals. He also knows that all this cannot be realized without India’s cooperation.
Pakistan’s stock market at historic high
The dreams shown by Nawaz Sharif can also be linked to the fact that Pakistan’s stock market has achieved historic highs in recent times.
However, the Pakistani economy still has a long way to go for sustained revenue performance to meet its expenses. Amidst IMF’s efforts to curb expenditure cuts, Nawaz Sharif is leading the race to take credit for Pakistan’s economic and political failures.
Let us tell you that in 1999, just a few months before the start of the Kargil war, the then Indian Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee had visited Pakistan.
In the year 2015 also, PM Narendra Modi had met Nawaz Sharif in Islamabad during his surprise visit to Pakistan.
