The former prime minister promised to serve the people even better if given another chance to lead the nation.
Reviewing the brutality on May 9, Shehbaz Sharif depicted it as a tragic day. It was a day when saints were offended, and state images were gone after. Pakistan’s relations with all adjoining and other significant nations on the planet were destroyed, he added. “On final voting day, citizens need to conclude who ought to lead this country.”
He said that Nawaz Sharif didn’t request that his adherents assault state establishments when his little girl (Maryam Nawaz) was captured. “During our 18-month rule, numerous difficult choices were made to save the state,” Shehbaz Sharif said, adding that in spite of admonitions from companions that these choices could affect the appointive legislative issues of the PML-N, “we continued to save the state at the expense of our legislative issues”.
