ISLAMABAD, Feb 14: Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif has said there is no hurdle in his coming to Pakistan, adding that he will soon give a big surprise by returning to Pakistan.

He was talking to party chief organiser (overseas) Sheikh Qaiser Mahmood by telephone, a party press release issued here on Friday said.

He claimed the Kashmir issue would have been resolved by now had his government not been toppled by army rulers.

The PML-N leader said he was able to hold free and frank talks with Indian prime minister Vajpayee after inviting him to Lahore and was about to break the good news to the nation on the Kashmir issue when his government was toppled.

He advised army generals to immediately relinquish power and return to their basic duty of defending the country.

He said in future only those workers would get berth in PML-N governments who had offered sacrifices during difficult times of the army rule.

He asserted that he had given relief to the common man in both tenures of his government and that was why people were now again looking for restoration of the PML-N government.

He predicted an early fall of the military rulers who were wasting their own and country’s valuable time. During the PML-N’s rule he said the entire world had started calling Pakistan the Tiger of Asia but regrettably the rulers had turned it now into a lamb of the world.

He said no power could stop him and his family from returning home.
