Islamabad: Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) supremo Nawaz Sharif Sharif this week lamented that the country has been destroyed by Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan in his quest to revenge against him (Nawaz).

In an interview, the former prime minister, flanked by his daughter and the Party Vice President Maryam Nawaz, shared his personal thoughts with the nation.

Nawaz Sharif said “If you [Imran] wanted to take revenge against me, that’s fine, by all means”. The former premier asked who allowed him to take revenge from Pakistan.

He said in the process of taking revenge against me, you [Imran] have destroyed Pakistan,” adding that how “everything became more expensive during Imran Khan’s tenure.”

Lashing out at previous PTI government for unleashing extreme inflation, he said “In the last four to five years, everything has been reversed.”

Nawaz Sharif said that inflation in the country sky rocketed during Imran Khan’s tenure. While “During my government, people were happy and content,” blaming Imran Khan’s government for the country’s economic woes.

He said that Pakistan was a dignified country and he never compromised on its honour as he refused to accept $5 billion for not conducting nuclear tests.

Nawaz Sharif said that everything Imran Khan has done, was now being revealed before the masses. Imran has proved a conspirator.

He has been exposed badly, he said that now, those who carried out the cruelty were being “exposed and coming to light.

“U-turns on everything, the nation is seeing it,” he added, referring to Imran Khan.

He recalled how his brother Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif used to complain about mother’s greater affection for him. He also recalled how he was sitting beside his mother as she breathed her last.
