PM Gilani, President Zardari lie to the nation: Nawaz Sharif

RATODERO: PML-N President Nawaz Sharif said Wednesday that Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani was defying the orders of the Supreme Court.

Nawaz, who was addressing a rally in Ratodero as part of the PML-Ns anti-government campaign, said that Prime Minister Gilani and President Zardari had lied to the nation.

The PML-N president lashed out at President Zardari claiming that he took the people’s money to Swiss banks. “We want Pakistan’s stolen wealth to be brought back.”

Sharif added that the PPP had capitalised on the peoples sympathies towards Benazir Bhutto to win the elections and their government had violated the Charter of Democracy. Sharif said the government had done nothing for the victims of the floods nor had they worked towards the loadshedding crisis.

He claimed that the murderers of Benazir Bhutto would be brought to justice if the PML-N formed the government stating that those suspected of involvement in the murder were around President Zardari.

Earlier while addressing the same rally Mumtaz Bhutto had announced the merger of the Sindh National Front with Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz.
