Crazy to serve nation: Nawaz

Lahore - PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif, addressing a mammoth rally at Samnabad here Thursday night, said that a ghastly conspiracy has been hatched against the PML-N to divide its vote.
He said the conspirators have brought in their frontmen to execute the plan. He said that despite all that, the people have resolved to vote for the PML-N and defeat the conspiracies and plots against him and the party. Zardari is conspiring from behind the curtain but on May 11 the ‘tiger’ will roar, Nawaz said while addressing a highly charged crowd.
In the constituency NA-122 where PTI chief Imran Khan and PML-N candidate Sardar Ayaz Sadiq are in the run, Nawaz Sharif said the PML-N triumph in the election is not far away. Nawaz said he loves the nation and the nation loves him as he has served the people sincerely and is committed to serve the people more. He said only a sincere leader is destined to win and his and his party record is before the nation to decide who can better serve the country in future. “Whenever Nawaz Sharif thinks, he only thinks of the people, the country and its prosperity and progress. This is not affordable to their rivals as such they all have trained their guns at him and the PML-N, but I am determined to serve the people,” the PML-N chief added.
Nawaz Sharif said premiership is not his ambition but his only desire is to serve the nation.
He said that for the honour and respect of the nation, he refused a $5 billion offer from the US and made the country a nuclear power. “I know we are an honourable nation that wants to live with honour, dignity and head high in the world.”
He said the enthusiasm of the crowd heralds the victory of the PML-N in the May 11 election. He said previously the PML-N was not let complete the tenure, but even in the short span in rule, it did historic feasts of development in the country. He said his party with the help of the youth and the supporters is ready to serve the country again and make it a world power.
Nawaz Sharif said the country cannot afford new experiences and it needs a tested leadership which could solve the problems. And the PML-N will provide that leadership which is capable of overcoming the problems and direct the country to prosperity. He said his party has a future agenda for the whole country. Motorway will be extended and Gwadar will be given complexion of a Dubai port, he added.
Nawaz said the time is short and job is tough, therefore from day one in the government his party will set to address the problems and build the country. He said he has no ambition for prime ministership but a craze to do something for the nation and the country and make it a power in the world. He said youth are his big hope and he would not dupe them as other leaders are doing for the sake of election. He said he is committed to sincerely do something for them.
Online adds: Nawaz Sharif said that if voted to power, his party would stop drone strikes without retaliation.  In an interview to a private TV channel, he said that according to the constitution, elected prime minister is bound to take oath from the president of the country.
Talking about Imran Khan’s fall, the PML-N chief said that he sent Shahbaz Sharif to enquire after Imran.
Commenting on the Taliban, he said that allegation of his party being pro-Taliban is extremely baseless, adding that talks can be held with the Taliban, but the laws of the land would have to be accepted by everyone.
Nawaz lashed out at Rehman Malik over allegation of money laundering against him and family. He said Malik is not setting a good tradition and intending to disrupt the environment.
He reminded the Quranic pledge of Zulfiqar Mirza and observation of the Supreme Court about Rehman Malik.
“Pervaiz Elahi doesn’t know the meaning of Metro that is why he is calling it Jangla Bus,” he remarked.
“The Supreme Court’s verdict would be followed in true letter and spirit regarding Musharraf,” Nawaz added. “We will have to adopt multi-faceted approach regarding Balochistan,” he mentioned.
He said that without resolving the issue of missing persons and arrest of Bugti murderers, nothing is useful for Balochistan, adding he urged a joint roadmap for Balochistan.
Quoting about Kashmir, Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif said that he would continue his efforts for the solution of dispute along with economic relations with India.
