Zardari should carry forward Ms. Bhutto’s legacy not Musharraf’s: Nawaz


LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League-N Chief Nawaz Sharif has said that President Zardari should carry forward the legacy of Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto Shaheed and not of former president Gen. (Retd.) Pervez Musharraf.In an exclusive interview given to Geo News, Nawaz Sharif said President Asif Ali Zardari intends to take the nation towards a mid-term election.“No third force can come into power if the government shows responsibility …. I will not come in Zardari’s way if he restores the (deposed) judges today,” he said.The PML-N Chief said President Zardari has violated the agreements and “now a democratic revolution could come in the country which is need of the hour.”He said the only reason why judges are not being restored is NRO.No doors are closed for contacting Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani, he said.Nawaz Sharif has denied filing an appeal for Civil Disobedience following imposition of Governor rule in the province of Punjab.Speaking to a British radio, he said: “I have not made any announcement regarding Civil Disobedience nor has any decision been made in this regard.” All I am saying is the administration, police, etc, should not obey any illegal order.He said Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah also instructed administration and police not to fulfill any illegal and unconstitutional order.To a question if he was putting his party interest ahead of those of the country, Nawaz Sharif said; “It is only because of the concern for this country that we have undertaken this struggle.”If we were not worried about the country, we would have accepted the offer of President Zardari that the disqualification case against us would be dismissed if we kept mum on the judges’ issue.He expressed ignorance on Maulana Fazl-ur-Rehman and Asfandyar Wali making efforts for reconciliation.In his reply to a question on how he would react to a reconciliatory move if made, he said reconciliation comes about on the basis of a principle or ideology but many promises were made in the past with no intention of fulfilling the same. “How can one trust anyone in such a case?” he questioned.Nawaz Sharif said full support will be extended to the lawyers’ long march.
