I would like to know. Can you please elaborate ?
You have to know his background. His father had a small business, an iron foundry actually where they would melt scrap iron and produce some basic iron products. That foundry was nationalized by ZA Bhutto like many other thus their resentment with Bhutto. So how did he entered politics from a businessman? Enter General Zia ul Haq, a person who is responsible for most of the mess we are in today. He handpicked Nawaz Sharif and appointed him Finance minister and then Chief Minister of Punjab. No there were no polls, it was Military Rule. He would take orders from General Gilani and receive patronage from Gen Zia. Once Zia declared him his son! His fortunes multiplied and a huge industrial empire started to take shape. ISI directly funded his election alliance in 1988 elections and he formed government in Punjab against central government of Benazir Bhutto. With huge sums of money from military and his industrial empire he bought MPs and deadlocked Benazir govt in a shameless show of hostlity. Again with backdoor buying he would bring Benazir govt down only within two years and become Prime Minister. When a case is accepted to be heard in Pakistan Supreme Court he went on to charge inside supreme court, vandalised the apex court. He also forced one Army Chief to resign and tried to remove unceremoniously another.
He is a dictator in his party and no one can dare dissent from him. Only his family members and relatives get key appointments in governments. There are no elections in his party and there is no confusion that only his sons and daughters are eligible to rise to replace him. His younger brother runs Punjab. His daughter holds official meetings and passes orders to top beauraucrates. She has no official portfolio but has dispensed Billions of rupees of tax payers money through her orders. Just because she is his daughter.
All important portfolios in government are only held by his family or extended family. They only work to expand his industrial empire which is worth multi billion dollars now. They have business and factories in Saudi Arabia, Turkey, England, Europe and many other. Only their factories grow. They have killed our textile and leather industry which offered them competition. When entire Pakistan suffers from energy shortage, their factories get uninterrupted supply of gas and electricity at nominal prices. Their overtures to India are solely based on their business interests and has nothing to do with Pakistan's national interest or something.
Their Saudi love affair is another thing. He has a legendary cowardice. What else you expect when he has been brought by a Military dictator. His rigging in election is no secret and attacking Pakistan's armed forces when they were fighting war of our future is also no secret. His broken election campaign motto that loadshedding will end completely within 6-12 months is vividly fresh in our mind. There is 12 hours loadshedding as of now. The list is very long.
Indians make a mistake of thinking good of him because of his overtures to India and anti-army (same Army that introduced him) anti- Mushshraf stance. For us he will sell our country for his business. He freezes in his tracks at times when leadership is required. After Peshawar attack he went dormant! Can you believe that?
he is trying all he can to boost its economy
He is just trying to boost his business.
