LAHORE: Former premier Mian Nawaz Sharif has said that the time has come for a “big change” in the country and nation would not have to wait anymore to see its dreams come true.
“You will not have to wait anymore as now I am seeing a ray of hope in this country. The change is knocking at the door and you people will not deprive of your rights anymore,” Nawaz tell a big mass rally held here Friday.
Nawaz severely criticized President Asif Ali Zardari over his policies and reiterated his charge that President orchestrated Supreme Court’s verdict that declared him and his brother Shehbaz, former chief minister Punjab, ineligible for public office.
Nawaz said that Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) is not with its co-chairman in his decisions.
“Mr President! take at least your own party on board in your decisions that you are making against us. You betrayed us. We shook hands with you without any precondition and you cheated,” he said.
“We never demanded anything for ourselves. I always demanded the government something for this nation. I begged President for this nation’s prosperity. PML-N joined the federal cabinet on Zardari’s demand and you see what he did with you and with us.”
“He is saying that court’s verdict against us is according to laws. So what about court’s verdict against Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto? Will you say now that it was also as per laws?”
Nawaz took the oath from the participants of the rally to attend lawyer’s long march and sit-in in Islamabad.
“I am raising the flag of an uprising today. Come with me and support me to bring a change in this country. I will march to Islamabad along with you. Now the decisions will be held on roads,” Nawaz told a cheering crowd of thousands of party workers, chanting slogans in his favor and against President Zardari and hoisting party flags.
