KASUR, April 20: PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif said on Saturday Musharraf was reaping the bitter harvest of his deeds.

“Musharraf is in hot waters due to cruelties he inflicted on the nation and for violating the Constitution,” he said at a public gathering at Khudian on Kasur-Deepalpur Road, where he spoke to a gathering in connection with his election campaign.

Khudian falls in NA-140 where PML-N ticket-holder Malik Rasheed Ahmed is in the arena with two heavyweights Khursheed Mahmood Kasuri of the PTI and Sardar Assef Ahmed Ali as an independent candidate.

He said those who forced the (political) leaders into exile, were reduced to an object of pity. He said he had no grudge against anyone but “one who committed treason with the country will face the music.”

Nawaz Sharif said had Zardari-led government been sincere with the nation, there wouldn’t have been such a massive loadshedding. The government, he said, pushed the nation to dark times. He said the PML-N government would end loadshedding after coming to power.

He said the country was facing terrorism and lawlessness, and people were dying from hunger. He claimed that the conditions in the country were different during his last tenure. He said May 11 would be the “Day of Judgment” when people would remove the plunderers by voting them out.

PML-N ticket-holders including Malik Rasheed Ahmed, Rana Muhammad Iqbal, Malik Muhammad Ahmed Khan, Rana Muhammad Hayat, Sheikh Waseem Akhtar, Naeem Safdar and Ehsan Raza were present.
