Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif said on Wednesday that he, along with nuclear scientist Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan, has been punished for making Pakistan a nuclear state.

He was addressing public rallies in Allahabad, Khudiyan Khas and Kasur. “Today the situation in the country has gone out of the hands of the existing rulers and people need breathing space,” Nawaz said. He said that he was virtually humiliated during his deportation to Saudi Arabia.“My hands were tied to my seat for more than seven hours in the plane,” he added. He said the PML-N was the only party raising its voice effectively for the restoration of the ousted judges. “I will never bow to dictatorship of any kind as I am a man of principles,” he said. Nawaz reiterated that the PML-N did not believe in the leadership of President Pervez Musharraf, adding that Musharraf had created differences among the people and judiciary for his personal gains. He regretted the loss of lives in military operations in Lal Masjid and Swat. He said the government had failed to curb terrorism. |
