Bury the hatchet or bite the bullet: Get ready for revolution

* Nawaz Sharif says Pakistan cannot be left at Zardari’s mercy
* Asks policemen to refuse ‘illegal’ orders
* Says PML-N government to return within days

JHELUM: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz chief Nawaz Sharif asked people during a rally in Jhelum on Monday to “get ready to make sacrifices for a revolution”, urging them to “come out on the streets to change your destiny”.

“This state of affairs in the country will change only through a revolution,” he told a charged crowd, claiming his party would come into power “in a matter of a few days”. “We cannot leave Pakistan at the mercy of Zardari,” he said. “We know how to safeguard Pakistan.”

Nawaz urged police personnel not to comply with government orders that they deemed against the law.

“The constitution, the law, the judiciary and Pakistan are not the fiefdom of [President Asif Ali] Zardari,” he said. “If anyone tries to subject people to injustices, he should be ready to face the consequences,” Nawaz warned.

“Fake courts have given a verdict against us,” he said referring to his and his brother Shahbaz Sharif’s disqualification. “If Zardari does not dislodge the courts, the people will dislodge them on their own,” the opposition leader said in a fiery speech.

He said Pakistan was facing threats and “the responsibility to save it lies on our shoulders”.

Nawaz asked the people to “sacrifice a few days” for his cause. “We will have to go to Islamabad. Together we will change the destiny of the country. We will restore the institutions of the country and bury its enemies. I will go to Islamabad for the sake of national integrity,” he said. agencies
