PML-N pitches Shehbaz Sharif as Punjab's chief minister
|
[GEO.TV] With elections closing in, a top Pakistain Moslem League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader has said that his party’s candidate for Punjab’s chief ministership would be the younger Sharif — Shehbaz Sharif.
Shehbaz has served as Pakistain’s most populous province’s chief minister for a record three times — 1997-99, 2008-13 and 2013-18 — and was also the prime minister for around 16 months, when the Pakistain Democratic Movement came into power after ousting Imran Khan
 ...aka The Great Khan , who ain't the sharpest bulb on the national tree...
, the chairman of Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaf
...a political party in Pakistan. PTI was founded by former Pakistani cricket captain and philanthropist Imran Khan. The party's slogan is Justice, Humanity and Self Esteem , each of which is open to widely divergent interpretations....
(PTI).
The PML-N is yet to begin its election campaign ahead of the February 8 elections, but its supremo Nawaz Sharif
...served two three non-consecutive terms as prime minister, heads the Pakistain Moslem League (Nawaz). Noted for his spectacular corruption, the 1998 Pak nuclear test, border war with India, and for being tossed by General Musharraf, then by the courts...
has returned to the country and is getting his legal affairs sorted in a bid to contest the polls and become the prime minister for the fourth time.
"In my personal opinion, given the destruction during the Buzdar regime and in the manner in which Punjab
1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard
2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers
3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots....
was progressing till 2018, it is Punjab’s need that Shehbaz Sharif take charge of Punjab’s affairs," PML-N Punjab President Rana Sanaullah told Geo News’ Shahzeb Khanzada.
"Had Shehbaz Sharif got the opportunity to [serve as the chief minister] after the 2018 elections as well, then Punjab would have become an example for the rest of Pakistain," Sanaullah, who served as the interior minister under Shehbaz in the Centre, said.
The top PML-N leader in line with his assessment, Shehbaz — despite being elected to the top office in the centre — would be ready to work under the leadership of Nawaz at any post.
"My assessment says that Shehbaz Sharif will be ready to work with Nawaz Sharif in any capacity. He will not complain about it," the ex-interior minister said.
When questioned about whether PML-N leaders Hamza Shehbaz (Shehbaz’s son) and Maryam Nawaz (Nawaz’s daughter) would be willing to work under the proposed leadership, he said: "They have served jail time together while in opposition. I’m sure they will serve in whatever capacity the party assigns them."
