No independence without economic self-reliance, PM tells nation
[GEO.TV] On the eve of August 14, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif told the nation that there is no concept of a nation's independence without economic self-reliance.

In a televised address to the nation on Saturday, the prime minister reiterated his call for the formation of a "charter of economy", saying that time has come for Pakistain to head in the right direction.

"We should keep national interest above personal interest [...] as real politicianship does not look towards the next elections, but at the future of the next generation," he said.

#4  That's Fazlur Rehman, Murcek. The chief of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam. He was in exile in Londonabad when the Pakistani Muslim League wasn't reigning. He couldn't enter the 'Stain for fear of his life. Now he's got a nice seat in what passes for a national assembly there. A lot of that moolah is coming to the likes of him.
