Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif has lamented “injustices” meted out to him during his previous stint in power, calling for the accountability of the judges and all those who have “damaged” the country.
The former premier, while addressing the party’s central working committee (CWC) meeting in Lahore on Saturday, said that those who were involved in hatching conspiracies against him were “being exposed”.
“We demand an accountability for all those who damaged Pakistan. Shouldn’t all things that damaged Pakistan undergo accountability,” he said.
The three-time prime minister referred to his ouster in 2013, saying that a big conspiracy was hatched to remove a sitting prime minister.
The PML-N supremo began his speech by heaping praise on all the party leaders for remaining steadfast despite political vicitmisation and legal battles during the previous PTI-led government.
“The people present here are the best members of the party who didn’t leave the party,” he said, adding that the PML-N politicians were once again came to power after facing immense difficulties.
Nawaz said that Pakistan would have been a different nation and on a different pedestal if the process of accountability had continued.
The PML-N supremo recalled that he, as the prime minister he had declined the United States’ offer of $5billion to stop the nuclear tests, claiming credit for making Pakistan an atomic power.
Lamenting the past injustices against him, Nawaz once again asked why his government was toppled in the 1990s.
“I was declared a hijacker at night while I was the prime minister,” he said.
