Ex-Pakistan PM Nawaz Sharif Stands Pakistan Responsible For Its Condition

In an apparent reference to the country’s problems, Pakistan’s erstwhile prime leader Nawaz Sharif stated on Tuesday that “we shot ourselves in our own foot” rather than the US or India being to blame for its financial difficulties.

In an interview held here with Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) ticket contenders, the party chief said, “Today where Pakistan has reached (in terms of the state of the economy) this is not done by India, the US or even Afghanistan. In fact, we shot ourselves in our own foot…they (a reference to the military) imposed a selected (government) on this nation by rigging the 2018 polls that led to the sufferings of the people and downfall of the economy.”
