ABBOTTABAD: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif hit out at the ongoing movement of the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) during his speech at the groundbreaking ceremony of the Hazara Motorway on Saturday, and said that sit-ins are detrimental to the country's progress.
While commenting on the current sit-in protests, the premier said that they will not ensure progress for Pakistan, nor will they bring an end to unemployment.
"Do you want electricity or protests?" asked the premier during his speech to scores of supporters. "The protests will make the country move backwards, it will not enable progress." he added.
"The kind of language that is taught to our younger generation during these protests... is this the language adolescents will use in 'Naya Pakistan'?" Nawaz said, referring to Imran Khan's speeches during rallies. "I have never heard such falsehood in my entire life, as much as I have heard in the past few days in these protests."
Nawaz arrived in Havelian earlier today, for the inauguration of the Hazara Motorway project. According to a report by Radio Pakistan, this important road link is part of Pakistan-China Economic Corridor agreement.
The 60-km long 4-lane fenced expressway will cost Rs30 billion with the purpose of reducing the drive time from Islamabad to Havelian to just 30 minutes in addition to providing roads for the Havelian Dry Port project.
The prime minister’s speech in Havelian, located in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa where PTI leads the provincial government, comes just a day before the PTI’s show of strength on Nov 30 in the federal capital.
The PTI has long been leading demonstrations in protest of alleged electoral rigging by the PML-N, which swept the 2013 polls. The PTI also blames the government for widespread corruption and poor governance.
The two parties have been in a standoff since August 14, when Imran launched his ‘Independence march’ against the government.
Nawaz, meanwhile, has promised to spend millions on building thousands of schools, vowed a reduction in load-shedding and gas prices, and an increase employment.
In a few days I’ll be heading to Karachi for the groundbreaking of the Karachi-Lahore Motorway, Nawaz told the crowd today.
PM announces Rs9.66 cut in POL prices
During his speech at the groundbreaking in Havelian today, the prime minister also announced a reduction of Rs9.66 per litre in the price of petrol.
Following the reduction, a notification of which Nawaz said will be issued the next day, the price of petrol will come down to Rs84.53 per litre from Rs94.19.
Nawaz also announced a Rs7.12 per litre cut in the price of high speed diesel, which will be reduced to Rs94.09 from Rs101.21, and a cut by Rs10 per litre in the price of HOBC, bringing it down to Rs103 from Rs113.
Ogra had recommended the reduction in POL prices after crude prices have fell to four-year lows in the international market.
According to details, the price of kerosene will be Rs83.51 per litre, down by Rs4.01 per litre from Rs87.52. The price of light diesel oil will be Rs78.42 per litre, down by Rs5 from Rs83.42.
The new prices will take effect from Monday, Dec 1.

With all due respect giving false choices is not equal to good ideas. "Electricity or Protests" is one of these false choices. Without IK's intervention the bills were being doubled and the power meters juiced. Who is the PM fooling? His idea of progress is a grander scale for Pakistan's VIPs. Their days are numbered and I hope their end is exemplary.

Affidavit by Dar where he admits he laundered money for you. 4. Dar's business empire in Dubai 5. Tax evasion 6. Political appointments throughout civil bureaucracy and other state institutions. 7. The Model Town massacre where your government has been found complicit, but no action so far. 8. Overbilling 140 billion rs to gas and electricity consumers (according to Rauf Klasra). 9. Issuing 500 billion rs to IPPs (Mansha & Co) without following due procedures and law (Rauf Klasra) 10. Metro projects that cost almost double than in Turkey and India.
And the list goes on. Then he complains he has never heard of these things before. Funny.

This is Pakistan where a man in uniform, any uniform, makes millions a month, making a mockery of his legal salary through his lavish princely life-style.
A young man dreams of CSS route to secure police service, a gateway to gold-mine.
Imran Khan would never talk of his own entry to Aitchison College because that would expose his traits.
A novice in politics can never learn the real art of politics at his age. As Churchill had said, a successful politician was the one who would tell lies to people with such a mastery that, before long he would start believing himself that those lies were the real truth.

Another ploy to fool people. I dont understand how this road will reduce driving time from Islamabad to Havelian to just 30 minutes. The distance from Islamabad to Burhan via motorway is about 50 km while it would be 60 km more from Burhan to Havelian. The total length is thus over 100 km. Will there be no check on speed?
And look at the cost. 4 lane motorway will cost 50 crore rupees per km.

People are getting clean cities and water. There aren't only new shinny hospitals being build, but all hospitals are transformed. We dont have new police stations with amazing building, but whole system of policing is reformed. Now more crimes are being reported and more cases being solved. Children are taught about what makes corruption wrong for country and people. Here people accept corruption openly, and that is where the problem lies.

30 billion Pak Rs.for 60 km of expressway? Mind boggling. In India ,even a concrete 4 lane highway on a ghat ( mountainous ) road costs only 200 million . Pak Rs per km. A 60km expressway on level ground should not cost more than 12 billion Pak Rs. at the maximum. With so much of loading on these Chinese projects ( including the obvious generous and big cuts to those in power ) a debt ridded country like Pakistan can only sacrifice its future generations prosperity ever paying back for these hyper inflated projects. I am sure there are the experts in Pak who know what is happening . Why are they and the media keeping silent?

"Do you want electricity or protests", asked the PM. It is a wrong question. We should ask, "Do you want electricity or Nawaz Sharif". PM and electricity cannot coexist; you can have only one.
The oil prices have dropped all over the world. In USA, the average price of gasoline has dropped from 4 dollars to 3 dollars per gallon (25%). In Pakistan, the drop is lesser. What this PM is trying to take credit for? If it was not for pressure from Imran Khan, this government would not have reduced the prices, in spite of price drop worldwide.
More important: why there is still price control over POL and every other commodity in Pakistan? It is failure of the economy, due to failure of all the previous governments.

Once again Mr Sharif is playing the POL prices card. International Crude oil prices have dropped significantly. This marks a big shift in global oil politics. Essentially, OPEC is now engaged in a price war with oil producers in the United States. The cartel will let prices keep falling in the hopes that many of the newest drilling projects in the US will prove unprofitable and shut down. As soon as that happens the cartel will be back in business.

@Ashraf Mirza (USA) ... Mirza Sb please visit Pakistan and live here for month! We know that so many Pakistanis are happily living in US by just paying 5% minimum payment on their fully drawn credit cards but to survive in Lahore or Karachi you would be needing more than that. Besides, if people get to know that you're US returned than minimum is snatching an maximum would be kidnapping for ransome.

@Ashraf Mirza (USA) People are also tired of Nawaz Sharif & Asif Zardari's corruptions, You know, your PM Nawaz Sharif lied
in the parliament when he said “I DID NOT ASKED PAK ARY CHIEF TO INTERVENE”. What Nawaz Sharif has given nothing to average Pakistani, I;m sure you also aware that all his family members in government. You will never see this kind of behavior from the leader of in any democratic county in the world. Shame on fake democracy in Pakistan.

@Ashraf Mirza (USA). You are absolutely right that Mr. Khan has nothing to offer to the people of Pakistan except empty slogans. Talk is always cheap. Are the people of Pakhtun wala under his government better off than the people of other provinces? ofcourse not.He himself is the product of democratic system but claims that the system is corrupt.

Thank you Imran bhai since you haven"t done any thing positive for people of KPK but two things certainly changed, First i never saw uneducated Pashtoon youth interested in Pakistani Politics and most of them were following the Ghaffar Khan ideology but you changed this now they look Pakistani Youth. Other one is that your dharna politics had created so much fear in the mind of these merciless corrupt savages whom created Monopolies in politics at least now they are looking at some positive steps to gain the public support.

@Ashraf Mirza (USA) And could you tell me what NS has done positively rather than putting the whole country in huge debts. Where Imran Khan is concerned he is not in power or the PM of Pakistan. But ask the people of KPK is their a change and people will say yes there is. Change does not come over night and PTI has accepted it, it will take time, but it is happening gradually. Sitting in the USA you don't know the ground realities. This is a paid crowd and this is where all the loans goes towards and in their personal accounts. How is Ferguson.

If NS believes that the elections were fair and free, he should do his job as a PM and should ignore what Imran Khan is saying, by not having jalsas as he is running for elections and asking for votes. Why so scared Mr Prime Minister?????????????You and your allies are fighting a real man with a lion heart, who is standing all alone because he believes in himself that he will and can change Pakistan. The world is not a perfect place and so are the people, but it takes guts to do what Imran Khan is doing fighting all odds as he did when we won the world cup. The whole world is fighting Afghanistan but has it won NO. This guy Imran Khan is no looser he will die but will never bow down.

" the premier said that they will not ensure progress for Pakistan, nor will they bring an end to unemployment."
Nawaz Sharif is now the master of propaganda - he's the only one who's admin has ended unemployment, stamped out power outages, and increased the trade balance with State of the Art manufacturing in the IT sector of Pakistan --- oh almost forgot Sharif and his brilliant Cabinet who are there thru merit only - have also completely eradicated poverty, nepotism and corruption!! Hip Hip HORAAAY!! NOT!
This "Hazara" highway has been constructed for one reason only- not for the people's benefit, it's exclusively for Sharif's personal business empire which will utilize the future Havelian Dry Port.
Please don't try to fool your countrymen, we know what and why you do what you do. This is your THIRD stint as a " leader " of Pakistan- what have you accomplished all these years??

No body denies the corruption charges of both the dharna leaders about PML (N) and PPP. As per international press many of the politicians, functionaries of establishments, public and private organizations and the religious leaders are morally or materially corrupt. But never in the history of Pakistan or any neighboring countries such 3rd degree language, abuses and threads been continuously used by any opposition party or leaders as used by the dharna leaders shown in the national and international medias. Never in the history of Pakistan any opposition leaders have taken Capital City physically hostage and entire nation mentally hostage and incited their exploited unruly mob to invade such a security sensitive public outlet like Parliament. People of entire world have seen the supporters of dharna leaders ransacking the Capital City TV station and the Parliament premises and setting their make shift resting camps, cooking their foods and washing their cloths inside the Parliament lawn. This is undemocratic, unlawful and most condemnable offence because it has inflicted irreparable damage to the image and reputation of the entire Country and the Nation at large.

Mr. Sharif, How much does it mean to build big bridges and road by borrowed money? (1) Who will pay all these billions. Why don't you go after those millions who do not pay tax.(2) Sir, why don't you appoint an independent chief of NAB who can recover all the stolen money from be it Zardari or any one else, Why have you given up on your promise (3) Dear PM, why dont you order Shehbaz to free the Police as they did in KPK (4) Sir why don't you change a little in your politics style and keep your kids ranked under the seniors of your party (5) Sir, Could you allot some 20 billion a year to fund higher education of all those who attain 65% and above marks in BA or Fsc and whoes parents do not make more than 50.000 a month. You could easily get this much money saved by reducing corruption in BeNazir Income support Fund if you did let Anwar Baig do his job as he wishes. SIR do the things right and we will vote for you else change is not far.

In his eagerness to take credit for decrease in prices of petroleum products, NS made the announcement on 29 Nov, whereas the new prices will take effect from 01 Dec. This will result in a situation where buyers will hold back the purchase of petrol / diesel for one day and the petrol pumps, saddled with excess stock, will try to sell at old price on 01 Dec. Who is the wise guy who advised NS to make the announcement one day early? Moreover, it does not befit a PM to engage himself in such routine matters.
The credit for this second substantial price reduction of petroleum products in a row again goes to IK. Had he not raised public awareness through his present campaign and put pressure on the government, NS would have reduced the prices by a few paisas only - the record of his and other previous governments on the issue would testify to this. All sorts of superfluous and unrealistic explanations for not lowering the prices in proportion to the prevailing international price of crude oil used to be routinely given in the past. Thank you IK for the good work. God be with you.

The only thing Nawaz knows how to do is build a road. Their idea of progress is to build motor ways and roads. These people have absolutely no concept in development, when it comes to education, healthcare, political reform. They have no track record of success except in money laundering, corruption, nepotism.
Its time for Nawaz and his gang to get kicked out. Otherwise we will have his sons in charge next:

As you can see by the picture above of Hussain Sharif (Nawaz's oldest son) these guys are busy eating and have gotten fat from the plundering of Pakistan's resources.
