LAHORE 14 Aug. (TNS): Former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Monday reiterated his demand that votes of people should be respected and sanctity of ballot must be maintained for putting the country on fast track of progress and prosperity.
Talking to media after visiting Mazar-e-Iqbal to offer Fatiha and lay floral wreath, the former Prime Minister criticized the decision of the apex court to oust him. Nawaz also talked about his plan of constitutional amendments for reforming criminal justice system and ensuring easy access to justice. He said that the circus being played for last 70 years should be shunned now, saying that otherwise it may harm the integrity of the country.
He said that Pakistan was created through the power of votes, but after the sad demise of Quaid-e-Azam and Shaheed-e-Millat Liaqat Ali Khan the country was de-tracked which led to the dismembering of Pakistan in 1971. He said: “we learnt no lesson from Dhaka Fall and the disrespect of people mandate and votes continued even today.”
He said that democracy was the name of respecting people votes and their choices. The former PM added that had they respected the sanctity of votes, they would have not seen this day.
He said that during the last four years PML-N government delivered. Nawaz said that a sea of people took to streets to receive him and welcome him during his GT Road Rally. “The people have the realization that the country is moving forward on the path of development and progress,” he added.
