He alleged that some opposition parties, which had no agenda or ideology, were serving
their own interests, instead of the country and the nation.
The PML-N chief said he had written to President Asif Ali Zardari a letter suggesting
measures to improve the political and economic situation in the country.
He said that although he had received a response from the government assuring him
that the suggestions would be positively considered, his party would wait what steps the
government took in this regard.
“We would have to put our own house in order and stop tax thefts before imposing new
taxes. There will be no need of any grant from any country if we ensure transparency in
taxation,” he added.
He warned that the government should correct things before the masses took to the
streets.
“We have laid a foundation of positive politics and we want to continue this trend in the
larger interest of the country and the nation.”
Mr Sharif blamed former president Gen (retd) Pervez Musharraf for the current unrest in
Balochistan. “Balochistan has been mishandled, which resulted in deteriorating the
situation.”
He said that military operations in the past had created a sense of deprivation among the
people of the province.
“It is irony that Gen Musharraf is still saying that he will adopt the same policy in
Balochistan if he comes to power,” the former prime minister said, adding that it meant
that the general would target another Baloch leader in future.
He said that peace of the country was linked with Balochistan’s stability.
