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...
was expecting to come to power on the crutches of the TTP, said Raja Riaz Ahmed, former deputy opposition leader in the Punjab Assembly.
In a statement issued on Saturday, he said that Pakistain Moslem League-Nawaz's political selfishness had no parallel. "How many more cold-blooded murders by the TTP will melt the deep-frozen heart of Nawaz Sharif to condemn the barbarity of Death Eaters who were on a killing spree of candidates belonging to the moderate and democratic forces?" Raja Riaz said.
He said that the TTP killed an ANP's National Assembly candidate and his minor son in Bloody Karachi
...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous...

He said that Nawaz Sharif's moral bankruptcy had been exposed to the core and he had passed the test of inhumanity because he was not sharing grief with the victims' families who did not bow before the Taliban's enforced sharia. He said that a Moslem and good human being would not hesitate to share grief with other Moslems or fellow human beings in the moments of grief. He said that it was shocking that Nawaz and his party seemed to have been emasculated to the extent of indifferent entity, having no feelings for human tragedies.
He said the PML-N chief's silence was solely propelled by political self-aggrandisement to climb to the seat of power by using the TTP as a springboard. "But their calculations and obsession for power will definitely crash them in a quagmire of ignominy and derision on May 11." Raja Riaz said that the people of Pakistain were watching PML-N's moves and conduct, and would pay them in the same way on the Election Day. "It was naïve on their part to presume that they could enter the corridors of power by hoodwinking the masses," he said.
