Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) chief Mian Mohammad Nawaz Sharif has said an elected government has every right to complete its constitutional tenure according to the mandate given by the people.
Addressing the parliamentary party meeting of newly elected members of parliament of PML-N in Lahore on Monday‚ he said previous government also completed its tenure while PML-N played its positive opposition role.
Nawaz Sharif said people of Pakistan had displayed maturity and political wisdom in the Elections-2013 by rejecting the emotional appeals and voting for serious minded leadership.
Congratulating the newly elected members of parliament, Nawaz said people of Pakistan had put their trust in them and it was their duty to serve people.
“We won with huge margins and lost with narrow margins,” he said. He said he was happy that previous parliament had completed its tenure; adding the tradition to overthrow governments through agitations must now come to end now.
“Civilized nations follow the constitutional means for change and I am proud that in Pakistan transfer of power took place in a peaceful and democratic way,” he said, adding this process should continue.
About the election campaign he said PML-N did not resort to any negative campaigning and gave only positive message to the masses for change.
He said his party had the opportunity to form government in Khyber Pakthunkhwa with the help of other parties but after the elections we announced it is the right of single largest party – PTI -- to form the government there.
He said his party will form government in Balochistan to resolve the problems of the province.
Similarly, he said PPP and MQM had right to form government in Sindh.
He said PPP and MQM should now work to bring peace in Karachi and end bloodshed, adding federal government would offer every possible support to Sindh government if it makes any effort to bring rule of law in Sindh.
“PML-N has majority to form government in the Centre but I would like that all parties should join hands to overcome the problems of Pakistan.”
He said the first priority of his government would be to solve the problem of load-shedding as soon as possible.  “Our government would be focused on problems of security and energy,” he said.
He urged the leaders and workers of PML-N to devote their time for the welfare of masses because people of Pakistan had great expectations from them.
“You have seen the end of those who lost contact with the masses while in government,” he said.
He urged his rivals to rise above narrow political objectives and work for the stability and progress of the country.
Nawaz said he respected the mandate of the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Sind, adding federal government would serve the people of Pakistan with any discrimination.
The PML-N leader said his party has already started work to resolve the problems faced by the people. He said that it will take months not years to complete the work. He hoped that the people will feel positive change in the first hundred days of his government.
Nawaz Sharif said thirty percent expenditure of the government will be curtailed. He said it will be effort of his government to end load-shedding at minimum possible time.
The PML-N chief says people will see in the first 100 days that govt is moving in the right direction.
Mian Nawaz Sharif said Taliban's offer for talks should be taken seriously as every issue cannot be solved through use of power and bullet.
