Lahore, Dec 26(ANI): Pakistan's Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif has slammed the people joining the Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaaf (PTI) party as cronies of former president General Pervez Musharraf.
He said Pakistan is on the verge of disaster due to rampant plunder of national resources, and added that Musharraf's companions were being projected as messiahs to bring about a revolution in the country.
"I may not be called Shahbaz Sharif if I do not expose these faces before the nation," The Dawn quoted Shahbaz, as saying on the inauguration of the Lahore Ring Road Package-15 interchange project.
He said Pakistani citizens were capable of recognizing the true faces.
"These are the same people who supported Musharraf in the heinous crime of Lal Masjid. They sided with the dictator when the image of the judiciary was tarnished and the chief justice was dragged. The same people shed the blood of the nation through secrete agreements like the one on drone attacks," he said.
He said Pakistan had achieved considerable progress during the tenure of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif.
He pointed out that Pakistan defence was invincible during Sharif's tenure as the country had carried out six nuclear tests in response to India's five.
"We refused foreign aid soaked with the blood of Pakistanis and such charity cannot be accepted at any cost," he said.
He accused the earlier Punjab government of embezzling billions from the exchequer in the name of undertaking the Lahore ring road project. (ANI)
