Sharif is an ideology: Nawaz tells Pakistanis
Sharif began his address with a trademark declaration of love to his audience.
Islamabad: Former Prime Minister and PML-N leader Nawaz Sharif on Sunday addressed a public gathering in Abbottabad, formally launching his party’s campaign for the upcoming general election, reported the Dawn on Sunday.
Mr Sharif began his address with a trademark declaration of love to his audience. “Nawaz Sharif really loves you too,” he told the crowd.
“Today, I am remembering 2013. The same passion was present then,” he said, surveying the gathering.
The former Premier, who was disqualified from public office by the Supreme Court in the Panama Papers verdict, told his supporters that “no court’s decision can break the ties” between him and his following in Abbottabad.
People speak of a ‘minus-Nawaz Sharif formula’, he said. “But Nawaz Sharif is an ideology and this ideology will bring revolutionary change across Pakistan,” he claimed. “Nawaz Sharif is not a loser. If he was a loser, you and I would not be friends,” he told the crowd. “Will you support me in this struggle?”
