Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif made a long homecoming speech at Lahore’s iconic Minar-e-Pakistan, where he revealed his agenda for pulling the country out of persistent crises and the upcoming general elections.

The three-time former prime minister has resided in London for the past four years due to a self-imposed exile after he was allowed to travel to the British capital in 2019 on health grounds.

Let’s take a look at important points from his speech today:

“I do not want to take revenge,” said Nawaz, dispelling rumours that he would adopt a confrontational policy in the lead-up to the general polls.

He said that “all constitutional institutions” should work together — an important statement for the institutions with whom Nawaz has had a dark past.

“I am talking with much restraint today so that I may not utter the words that I’m not supposed to,” Nawaz said.

The PML-N supremo said Pakistan cannot prosper if it is in a battle mode with its neighbours.

He reminded people of the “good” times during his government’s tenure.

Nawaz did not utter the name of his arch-foe Imran Khan once but made several references to him without naming him.

He also recalled the deaths of his mother and wife, whom he said he lost due to politics.

Nawaz reiterated his famous mantra: “Why was my government ousted?”

“We should not allow anyone to play with the country’s fate in the future,” he said.

Nawaz said will have to go on the track of development “with double speed” as “beggers cannot resolve” the nation’s problems.
