India behaving like a
superior nation: Sharif
Islamabad: Exiled former Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has accused
India of behaving like a superior nation, not treating his country as an equal. The PML-N chief slammed the Pakistan government for its policy towards New Delhi, saying India was behaving like a superior nation and was not treating Pakistan as an equal.
In my tenure, 6 nuclear tests were carried out against India's five despite the US pressure. However, Musharraf appears helpless before the Bush administration, he said. Our country's frontiers are not safe as foreign planes are attacking our areas and killing innocent people, he said.
Announcing a decisive Opposition movement against Pervez Musharraf, Sharif said that a long march to Islamabad would be organised next month to force him to relinquish power.
Many important decisions are to be taken in the month of March, Sharif said while addressing a provincial-level
students' convention on phone from London today. He called upon the youth and students to rise against the government and play the kind of role played by the students in 1947. He said Musharraf had failed to keep the promises he made while announcing his seven-point agenda.
The country had been faced with a very critical
situation, he said. He said the law and order situation, in particular, had worsened and suicide attacks, bomb blasts and kidnappings for ransom had become the order of the day. Even mosques and courts are not safe, the Dawn quoted him as saying.
He said billions of rupees were being spent on the security of the president and the prime minister while the poor was vulnerable to the prevailing security situation and leading a miserable life.
