People know reasons behind cases against me, says Nawaz

ISLAMABAD: Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif on Thursday said that the people of Pakistan are aware of the reasons behind graft cases against him.

Speaking to the media before leaving Parliament House, the PML-N quaid said that there will be a positive outcome in the national politics from decisions taken by the senior party high command.

He said that the country progressed on every front whenever Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz came in power.

"We ended load shedding, terrorism, made motorway, brought CPEC," he said, adding that the "international community recognises the development projects we initiated."

Nawaz said that the PML-N government enhanced national defence to the maximum level.

The PML-N leader lamented that the rising inflation has drastically impacted the poor.

"We had limited inflation rate but the incumbent government has brought it to a drastic level. The poor don't know what they should do now."

Nawaz and PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif chaired a party meeting at the Parliament House earlier today, during which the accountability court’s verdicts which will be announced on December 24 and the current political situation of the country were discussed.

The party decided during the meeting to start a mass contact movement and give a “tough time” to the government if the accountability court sentences Nawaz in the remaining two corruption references against him.
