CHAKWAL: Hamza Shahbaz Sharif has said that Nawaz Sharif’s narrative of “injustice to him” on Iqama disqualification is the voice of masses and his supporters.
Hamza Shahbaz told that justice should not be done but seen to be done and when its clearly seen that there are double-standards of justice, then legitimate questions will arise. Hamza Shahbaz was talking to media after visiting his aunt Begum Kulsoom Nawaz to inquire after her at the Hasan Nawaz Sharif’s flat in Mayfair.
“It is said that government is for the people and by the people. It’s people’s decision. Look at what happened to the combined opposition in Lahore where dozens of parties put together were greeted by a sea of empty chairs.
Look at the recent by-election result in Chakwal where the PML-N candidate won by a margin of almost 30 thousand. Ultimately, we have to take our message to the people of Pakistan.
It’s important that justice should be done and seen to be done too. It’s duty of the courts to use the same yardstick for everyone. Its duty of the courts to show justice is being done. People are looking at everything and know what’s happening. The last resort is the court of people,” Hamza Shahbaz said in reference to Nawaz Sharif’s disqualification by the Supreme Court of Pakistan on the basis of Iqama while giving clean chit to Imran Khan despite the fact Imran told the court he owned Niazi Services Limited offshore.
Hamza said that thumping victory of PML-N in Chakwal shows the trust of people in PML-N policies and the fact that “we have performed” and its “on the basis of performance that all parties should go to public and let voters decide who will run the next government, that’s democratic way is the only way forward”.
Hamza Shahbaz Sharif said that Begum Kulsoom Nawaz is undergoing cancer treatment in London and will go for the last session of Chemo next month.
“Alhamdullillah, she is much better than before. It’s due to the duas of people that she has progressed well and Insha Allah it’s our prayer that she gets perfectly fine soon and will return to Pakistan. I appeal to everyone to pray for her health, there is no relation more precious than that of a mother.”
Hamza paid tribute to Begum Kulsoom Nawaz for standing up against the dictatorship of Musharraf and recalled how they put up a fight and suffered on many counts. “It’s due to the sacrifices made then that democracy return to Pakistan.”
He said that all parties that worked together for the restoration of democracy and elections should work together in the interests of Pakistan. He said PPP and PML-N together with other parties played a great role in bringing democracy back to Pakistan. “Political parties should show maturity and sit together to strengthen Pakistan. Countries in our region and elsewhere are strong because they have strong institutions and strong functioning democracy.”
Hamza Shahbaz Sharif said that Pakistan had descended into darkness when PML-N came into power. “There was almost complete darkness but we have successfully dealt with the challenge and loadshedding will finish permanently. It was a dream at one stage but now it’s a reality and it’s one of the greatest achievements of PML-N government.
We have delivered, brought investment to Pakistan and one after another survey shows that Punjab has progressed like no other province and the whole country is better off today than at anytime before because of the dedicated policies adopted by PML-N govt.”
Hamza said Pakistan faced external challenges and needed unity and stability at home. He said that Donald Trump was issuing threats to Pakistan and asking Pakistan to do more while the fact is Pakistan has made more sacrifices than any other nation. He said these challenges could be dealt with when Pakistan is stable and strong internally and therefore unity was needed.
