Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif said on Wednesday the country was stuck in a quagmire and one wonders what had befallen Pakistan. Addressing a session of the PML-N parliamentary board here, the former prime minister asserted, “We need to take matters into our own hands. We ourselves are responsible for the sorry state of affairs in the country.” Without naming the founder of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, Nawaz associated the challenges facing the country today to putting the former PTI chairman at the helm. “Everything was done to bring in this one person.” The former premier mentioned that in 2017, the country was progressing towards prosperity. “There was no inflation or unemployment. People were moving away from the poverty line, and Pakistan was leading in development in the region.” He further said that essential commodities were within reach of the common Pakistanis in 2017 and it seemed as if Pakistan would join the ranks of developed nations. But, he regretted, that after four days of progress, the country began to regress. The PML-N leader reiterated that everything was done to bring in one person. Nawaz stated that he and his daughter Maryam were implicated in false cases and they attended around 150 hearings.
