Nawaz Sharif wants those who removed him as prime minister to pay the price

Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif repeated that he wants those who removed him as prime minister to be held accountable.

“The country was thriving from 2013 to 2017 and the economy was better; however, good people were thrown out and Pakistan was handed to clumsy people,” said the PML-N chief while addressing the party’s parliamentary board meeting in Lahore.

For the second consecutive day, the PML-N leader has emphasised the need for holding accountable those responsible for his removal since his return to the country in October, following a four-year self-imposed exile in London.

The day before, when addressing PML-N ticket holders, he accused former generals and judges of filing baseless cases against him and causing harm to the country.

Nawaz started his address today by expressing that, despite being physically distant, he remained deeply connected to the party members emotionally. He emphasised that he consistently kept his friends and companions in his thoughts.

“During our time, the economy was better and development was at its peak. We still pray that the country is steered out of difficulties,” said the PML-N supremo.
