Nawaz also blames 'generals' for conspiring against his govt
[Dawn] Pakistain Mohammedan League-Nawaz (PML-N) chief  Nawaz Sharif... served two non-consecutive terms as prime minister, heads the Pakistain Moslem League (Nawaz). Noted for his spectacular corruption, the 1998 Pak nuclear test, border war with India, and for being tossed by General Musharraf... on Friday blamed 'army generals' for conspiring against his elected government in the past saying gunny bags full of money were brought in Punjab to topple his rule, DawnNews reported. Speaking during an interview to a private news channel, Sharif declared the task of bringing law and situation of the country to normality an uphill task. Situation in Balochistan  ...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it... , Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa ... formerly NWFP, still Terrorism Central... and in Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It may be the largest city in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... is getting out of control, he said. Sharif said that his party will form an electoral alliance with a political party which would ensure peace in Bloody Karachi. "We might not need any alliance prior to elections anyway," he added. The former prime minister dismissed the allegations that he received money from former Mehran Bank head Younis Habib. "Had I received money and had he been kind enough to us, my government would have not fired him from his post," he added. Commenting on the Supreme Court's verdict on Asghar Khan case and potential investigation by the FIA against him, Sharif said that he would accept the probe despite the fact that the agency reports to Interior Minister Rehman Malik Pak politician, Interior Minister under the Gilani government. Malik is a former Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) intelligence officer who rose to head the FIA during Benazir Bhutto's second tenure. Malik was tossed from his FIA job in 1998 after documenting the breath-taking corruption of the Sharif family. By unhappy coincidence Nawaz Sharif became PM at just that moment and Malik moved to London one step ahead of the button men. He had to give up the interior ministry job because he held dual Brit citizenship. . He stressed that the government should implement the apex court orders in letter and spirit.
