Nawaz belonging to a conservative family with religious bent of mind shot into prominence on the political landscape because of patronage of Gen Zia. He became chief minister Punjab during PPP’s first tenure from 1988 to 1990. During the 1970s when ZA Bhutto was in power, his autocracy and rigging in 1977 elections brought all political and religious parties on single platform. Slogan of ‘Islam in danger’ was used to energize Nizam-e-Mustafa movement and to push Bhutto against the wall and to impel Zia to take over the reins of the country in July that year.
Nawaz had witnessed the charged sentiments of the people desiring Islamic system. After seeing the downfall of all-powerful Shah of Iran and takeover of an Islamic government in March 1979, he then saw how tenaciously the Islamists fought the Soviet forces in Afghanistan against heavy odds for a decade and ultimately defeated the super power. Pakistan had a key role in the war. He had also observed the contrasting role of Al-Zulfiqar led by Bhutto sons getting assistance from Syria, Libya, Afghanistan, India and USSR and indulging in anti-state activities throughout the Afghan war.
During Nawaz’s first tenure from 1990 to 1993, Shariah Act was passed by National Assembly in May 1991, which made it obligatory for Muslims to follow injunctions of Islam. He watched the peaking of freedom movement in occupied Kashmir and the valor of Kashmiris resisting the might of over 700,000 Indian security forces and braving their gruesome brutality. It had led to emergence of several Jihadi groups in Azad Kashmir. In the 1990s, religious extremism and sectarianism had intensified as consequence to fallout of Afghan Jihad, uprising in Kashmir and support of Saudi Arabia and Iran to sectarian outfits. Al-Qaeda under Osama bin Laden had also turned its guns against US targets in the region. While Pakistan was under US sanctions and had virtually been abandoned, India taking advantage of its strategic alignment with USA had stepped up its diplomatic efforts to get Pakistan branded as a terrorism abetting state.
Nawaz Sharif gained two-thirds majority in 1997 elections and was unquestionably the most populous leader in the country in that timeframe. One reason of his popularity was that he had wrongly been denied the right to rule by the then President Ghulam Ishaq Khan after he was reinstated by Supreme Court in April 1993. The other reason was the poor showing of Benazir Bhutto (BB) led government and corruption scandals of her spouse Zardari during the two stints in power. Shifting the power policy from hydro to highly expensive thermal power through IPPs laid the foundation for energy crisis. The PPP misrules had caused severe damage to democracy, restored in end 1988 after the eleven year rule of Gen Ziaul Haq and his death in air crash in August 1988.
Under the religiously charged geo-political environment and his own conservative background, if Nawaz had desired introduction of Shariah after obtaining a heavy mandate in 1997 and had got Shariah bill passed from the Lower House, his longing was neither out of context nor against the wishes of the great majority in Pakistan. Although he never mentioned that he wanted to become Ameerul Momineen of an Islamic Emirate, his detractors attributed it to him out of malice for Islamic system. Secular writers keep taunting him that he had become so intoxicated with power that he vied to become Ameerul Momineen. Seculars in Pakistan are thankful to Gen Musharraf for dashing his dreams and saving Pakistan from becoming an Islamic State. It is a different matter that secular lawyer community cooked the goose of Musharraf, the sponsor of concept of enlightened moderation.
Both BB and Nawaz vied to wear the crown for the third time during their exile. BB was not lucky to accomplish her wish for she was murdered on December 27th, 2007 when the crown was within her grasping reach. Nawaz had to wait longer and had to wade through thorny path but ultimately succeeded in becoming PM for the third time in June 2013. People say it was because of his closeness with religion and sincerity of purpose that he was bestowed with this near impossible honor and create history.
Much against general perception of hung parliament, PML-N once again managed to obtain heavy majority in the centre and in Punjab and was in a comfortable position to make its government in Balochistan and in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP). Nawaz generously allowed National Party led by Dr Malick to form a government in Balochistan and his rival PTI in KP thereby burying cut-throat politics of manipulation. Seized with the magnitude of problems gifted to him by PPP led regime, his team has started to tackle complex problems to stem the rot of inefficiency and corruption which have destroyed state corporations.
Nawaz’s address to the nation has evoked barrage of criticism from PPP stalwarts. Ill-famed Aitzaz Ahsan and reviled ex PM Raja Rental who had miserably lost elections from his home constituency had the audacity to say that his address was disappointing. They forget their own disappointing and shameless roles. Aitzaz sucked up to Zardari to acquire Senate seat. While defending Gilani charged with contempt of court, he made a u-turn in his stance on writing a letter to Swiss authorities and strongly advocated that Gilani was right in not writing a letter since president enjoyed immunity.
How has Nawaz failed to tackle decade old terrorism as claimed by him in his two-month old rule and that too in the absence of national security and counter terrorism policies and above all, conflicting views of political parties and public whether it is our war or someone else’s war, and whether we should continue fighting or negotiate? In the backdrop of existing anomalies lingering since Musharraf’s era, what was so drastically wrong on part of Nawaz to say that the government is ready to exercise both options of talk and fight and will choose the one agreed upon by all stakeholders.
Nawaz is not confused; it is Jayalas like Raja Ashraf and Aitzaz who are flabbergasted since none listen to them. Instead of appreciating the economic wizard Ishaq Dar managing to pay off Rupees 480 billion circular debt in quick time and increase electricity generation to 17000MW to provide immediate relief to the people and let them keep fasts and celebrate Eid in peace, PPP leaders are dejectedly questioning as to how the debt was retired. Asif Khawaja is relentlessly chasing the electricity thieves, bill payment defaulters and corrupt elements and is checking line losses. Gas and power theft is consuming Rupees 150-200 billion while FATA, settled areas of KP and some other regions are hardly paying any electricity dues. Besides activating Nandipur and Neelum-Jhelum projects, China has shown willingness to help ease energy crisis. Efforts are already underway to exploit coal as an alternative source of energy. World Bank and ADB have now shown readiness to fund Bhasha dam.
Why should Nawaz have spelled out terms of negotiations with TTP before hand? Does he as a lawyer show his cards before hand while defending his client or prosecuting his opponent in law courts? This is called criticism for the sake of criticism when one has nothing concrete to offer.
Concerning security plan about which the two had never spoken earlier, Interior Minister had already informed the nation that both national and counter terrorism policies would be presented by the end of this month. If the security forces have fought the war for a decade without these policies, I reckon we can afford to wait for few more weeks. DCC (now renamed) meeting chaired by the PM and attended by all Service Chiefs and CJSC has been held on 22 August to take stock of internal and external security matters and it has been decided that talks will be held with only those who surrender arms.
Raja Ashraf says that Nawaz had nothing to offer but vague promises. I am sure his repeated firm promises he made to the nation to end load shedding must be haunting him. While Aitzaz distinctly remembers the promise made by Shahbaz Sharif during election campaign to end load shedding, he doesn’t remember Raja Ashraf’s false promises and his disastrous RPP project. Nandipur and Neelum-Jhelum hydro projects capable of overcoming energy crisis were immobilized because of lethargy and incompetence. While Kalabagh dam was scored off at the very outset, no progress was made on Diamer-Bhasha dam.
Aitzaz’s lament that the PM didn’t announce any mega project for Balochistan is far from truth. Balochistan will benefit the most from the projected development of Kashgar-Gwadar Highway. Gadani coal projects will add to the prosperity of the province. Above all, letting nationalist leaders to hold two highest portfolios in the province is a clear indication that Nawaz is determined to address the grievances of Balochistan.
Aitzaz said that PPP is thinking of moving Supreme Court on Nandipur issue. It dare not for its cupboards are full of skeletons. PPP leading lights must first return back the stolen wealth before casting stones on others and holding them accountable. The last regime has left behind such a huge mess that it is impossible to clean it in months. The stink is too foul and nauseating which will take time to fade away. Piplas are rightly perplexed to see the fast occurring changes since they had spent their five years in looting and merrymaking and had run the affairs of the state by printing Rupees three billion currency notes daily.

PML(N), Asiana Scheme & Malik Riaz: A Big Happy Life Event
The 1000 Ashiana schemes announced by the PML (N) may have his share in it. Similarly, a host of the so-called seths, called as robber barons in the US at the turn of the last century, are seen in the evening parties in Islamabad. A few things never change in Islamabad the ruthless.

BE WARNED: PAKISTANI CHEATERS, SHORT-CUTTERS &SCOFFLAWS ILLEGAL ACTS LAND YOU IN JAIL IN AMERICA FOR LIFE
In Pakistan, corruption starts at the top right
from the President and Prime Minister. Asif Zardari, the President of Pakistan is a known Crook. Nawaz Sharif is a money launderer and a bank defaulter, His best buddy, Mirza Iqbal, a tycoon of Hall Road is a US convicted drug smuggler. Majority of Pakistanis elected these crooks to the core as their leaders. Most of the underclasses follow their lead and try to find shortcuts to wealth, especially in the West. However, as they say in America, this does not ” cut the mustard.” Advanced Western nations have mostly build their societies on honesty and ethics. There is a saying, “You do the crime. You do the time.” But, our Pakistani, Indian, and Bangladeshi, and Afghan brethren never seem to learn. Until, its time to “do the time.”
Our beautiful Deen is based on the Life of our Beloved Prophet (PBUH), whose honesty was exemplary from his birth to his death. He was called “Al-Amin,” the Trustworthy.” But, his followers in the Indo-Pak Sub-continent are steeped in dishonesty.
Here is a story of dishonesty of Pakistanis in the US, their motto,” greed is good,” landed them in the slammer.
They were provided with opportunity to earn an honest living. They could have earned millions of dollars, just by honesty and hard work, like the majority of their countrymen living in the US. 
But, no, these chumps,louts,
shysters,and blighter, had to take a short cut to the Road to Perdition. The smeared the name of not only their community, but, also Pakistan and Pakistanis around the globe.
This story was broken by the New York Times, a Jewish Newspaper, which has no love lost for Pakistanis and/or Muslims.
The Moral of this Story: People who live in Glass houses, Must Not Throw Stones or One Bad Fish Can Spoil the Pond.
Please read on and weep:

New York Times
Federal authorities seized 14 7-Eleven stores on Long Island and in Virginia early Monday, arresting nine owners and managers and charging them with harboring and hiring illegal immigrants and paying them using sham Social Security numbers, people briefed on the case said.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and federal prosecutors in Brooklyn were also investigating 40 other 7-Eleven franchises in New York City and elsewhere, the person said, and the prosecutors were seeking $30 million in forfeiture from the stores and their corporate parent. The franchises split their profits with the corporation, which handles the store payrolls, the people said.
The owners and managers — eight men and a woman — were charged in an indictment to be unsealed Monday morning, the people said. It included accusations of wire fraud and aggravated identity theft stemming from payment of employees who were illegal immigrants using the Social Security numbers of children and the dead, the people said. One of the people said the owners and managers had abused and taken advantage of the illegal immigrant workers.
Many of those charged were of Pakistani descent and it was believed that most, if not all, of the illegal immigrants were also from Pakistan, one of the people said.
In one instance, an employee of one franchise was paid using the Social Security number of a former 7-Eleven employee, a person who had not worked for the store for 10 years and who had been the target of collection efforts by the Internal Revenue Service for much of that time because of the reported payments to the illegal immigrant, the people said.
The conduct charged in the indictment, the people said, had been going on for more than a decade. Twenty-five of the 40 additional 7-Eleven franchises under scrutiny were to be inspected on Monday as part of the ongoing investigation, the people said. Several of those stores were in New York City.
One of the people briefed on the matter, noting that the parent company handled the store payrolls, said there were no internal controls to prevent the same Social Security numbers from being used to pay more than one store employee, which happened in more than one instance.
Scott Matter, a spokesman for the parent company, said it was aware of the arrests and seizures and “has been cooperating with federal authorities during their investigation.” Mr. Matter said the company would have no comment until it learned more about the case.
By about 9 a.m., eight of the nine who had been indicted were in custody, five of them in New York and three in Virginia, one of the people said. The last individual was being sought.
One of the raids took place about 6 a.m., at a 7-Eleven on Carleton Avenue in Islip, on Long Island, according to a law enforcement agent at the scene who declined to give his name or reveal the agency he worked for. One person, he said, was taken into custody from the store and two people were taken away from a house across the street. It was unclear what connection the house had to the investigation.
The store remained closed through the early morning, with law enforcement agents turning away customers who ordinarily stop in for coffee. A worker for the Town of Islip said he had seen similar law enforcement activity at several other nearby 7-Elevens.
The United States attorney in Brooklyn, Loretta E. Lynch, and James T. Hayes, who is in charge of Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s office of investigations in New York City, were expected to announce the charges laterMonday morning, along with officials from the New York State Police and the Suffolk County Police Department.

In the early eighties, after that Nawaz Sharif had completed his education his father Mian Muhammad Sharif started him in the business. However, this proved a disaster. As a second option Mian Muhammad Sharif set him up with Pakistani actor Saeed Khan Rangeela to get him into acting (something which Nawaz Sharif wanted).
A few days later Saeed Khan Rangeela sent his regrets to Mian Muhammad Sharif saying that his son was too dumb for acting and movie industry. Mian Muhammad Sharif then a cricket coaches to train his son for cricket, but his physical fitness was too low for the sport. It is rumored that by mid-day on his first day at training Nawaz Sharif threw the bat down and left the stadium saying, “This is too tough for me.” As a last resort he paid General Ghulam Jilani Khan a considerable sum of monies to introduce Nawaz Sharif to General Zia-ul-Haq recommending him for a political post, who in turn made Nawaz Sharif the Finance Minister of Punjab. This was the day when the street thugs of Mohni Road had stepped on to becoming the national thugs of Pakistan.
The day Nawaz Sharif had become Finance Minister, the entire family’s earnings were few million rupees and had only one refinery. From there they went on to: Ittefaq Sugar Mills was set up in 1982, Brothers steel in 1983, Brother’s Textile Mills in 1986, Brothers Sugar Mills Ltd in 1986, Ittefaq Textile units in 2-3 in 1987, Khalid Siraj Textile Mills in 1988, Ramzan Buksh Textiles in 1987, Farooq Barkat (pvt) Ltd in 1985. By the time of Zia ul Haq’s fateful plane crash, Mian Muhammad Sharif’s family was earning a net profit of US$ 3 million, up from a few million rupees. By the end of the decade their net assets were worth more than 6 billion rupees, according to their own admission, nearly US$ 350 million at the time. But this turned out to be small-change when Nawaz Sharif became the Prime Minister.
When Nawaz Sharif became prime minister, the group took a decision to secure project loans from the foreign banks and only working capital were taken from the nationalized commercial banks. The project financing from foreign banks was ostensibly secured against the foreign currency deposits, a number of which were held in benamee accounts, as repeatedly claimed by Interior Minister Naseer Ullah Babar at his press conferences. In 1992 Salman Taseer released an account of Nawaz Sharif’s corruption stating that the family had taken loans of up to 12 billion rupees, which were never paid back. On March 2, 1994, Khalid Siraj, a cousin of Nawaz Sharif claimed that the assets of the seven brothers were valued at Rs 21 billion.
These were the accounts of profits and companies which were openly known to public. However, the family kept their side business going all the while ” the gambling dens and heroin control in Lahore ” and along with their industry the side business also mushroomed.
During the Afghan-Soviet War Nawaz Sharif’s cousin Sohail Zia Butt started working under the drug baron Mirza Iqbal Beg, then Pakistan’s second biggest drug lord after Ayub Afridi. Mian Muhammad Sharif and his sons had a permanent share in his gambling and heroin business. In 1990 Suhail Butt won a seat on the Islami Jamhoori Ittehad ticket in the Punjab Assembly. It was through Sohail Butt’s association that Nawaz Sharif became a close associate of Mirza Iqbal Beg. It was through him that Nawaz Sharif became benami owner of many of the privatized government entities, such as Muslim Commercial Bank. Sohail Zia Butt other than getting involved in the drug business made billions in the co-operative societies’ collapse, mainly through the National Industrial Credit and Finance Corporation. It was Nawaz Sharif’s share in his cousin’s drug business which he used to buy off the generals thereby delaying the inevitable dismissal of his government.
In 1995 when Mirza Iqbal Beg was imprisoned, Sohail Zia Butt took over his drug empire. It is at this time that he became one of the biggest drug and crime bosses in Pakistan and was nicknamed the “King of Hera Mandi” and at one time all six underworld gangs of Lahore were working under him.
By 1995 family’s declared annual profits from industrial units had increased 1500% from US$ 30 million to staggering US$ 400 million.
This is the short version of how in mere 15 years small street thugs running gambling dens became leaders of a country running narcotics, underworld and smuggling empires, untouched by everyone.

Successful Politicians
Churchill while defining politics and politicians had said that a successful politician was the one who promised moon and stars to his electorate before the elections and after being elected to the power could explain to them as to why he couldn’t do all that he had promised. MNS has certainly grown up to qualify for that category of successful politicians. He has so far taken to explain only one issue that of the energy and load shedding as to why it can’t be solved sooner as promised and one would have to wait and see what he will have to say about the other many many ‘moons’ and the ‘stars’ that the Shareef brothers had so enthusiastically promised to the masses – the poor naïve masses who believe in such “successful” politicians who take them time and again for a big ride.
