By that logic, Nawaz Shareef is basically a businessman who was brought in politics by Gen. Zia to counter Bhutto. He never was a good politician and administrator. Two successive governments in the centre and the latest one in Punjab has proved only one thing that this guy cannot run a country. If he wants to help Pakistan then he should become the chairman of Lahore Chamber of Commerce.
In 64 years old history of pakistan.For 35 years pakistan suffered from dictators.Yes nawaz sharif had the support of general zia ul haq in his early days of Politics cuz zia ul haq new Nawaz was natural born leader end of the day if u are useless you won't be used for anything,He served as finance minister. As finance minister, he presented development-oriented budgets.which is not something alien n shouldn't put any negative thought into anyone's mind,then In 1985, he became Chief Minister of Punjab. He served for two consecutive terms as Chief Minister of Punjab Province, the most populous province of Pakistan. Because of his vast popularity, he received the nickname "Lion of the Punjab". As chief minister, he stressed welfare and development activities and the maintenance of law and order.Nawaz learned n worked him self slowly and gradually towards one of the finest leader of pakistan!But did he start thinking of prime ministership from the 1st level noo!he learned everything b4 he stepped into that level!!
If Nawaz Shareed had the political mind, Zardari would have not been able to screw him over and over again in the last 3.5 years like he did and used him like a tissue paper which made Nawaz Shareef look like a fool in the end. Imran Khan had the vision and courage to call spade a spade when Zardari took oath as president with the help of Nawaz Shareef. So tell me whose got a better political mind?
Oh and talking of inflated egos, If only Nawaz Shareef didn't have one, the situation in Pakistan would have been much better than what it is.
