Thumbs up ! Mr. Nawaz Sharif. Karachi needs mass transit facility. It would be a major achievement if it is finished during your tenure. Good luck !

No Mr. Sharif, your India Visit was a Failure. Complete Failure.

First of all defend our country from TTP and its factions. Then talk about defending the country.

You can say anything in "Josh-e-Khitabat" I don't take you serious

God Bless Nawaz Sharif. He is working hard and intelligently to put Pakistan back on the path of peace and progress.

Nobody wants Pakistan, unless Pakistan makes any misadventure.

Why Pakistan again and again has to say that the nuclear assets were in safe hands? None of the nuclear armed countries make such statement.

Defending against whom ? Plz clearify

It reminds me of the past... There are no drones based in Pakistan. Do we have to trust the words of a politician?

If you were capable of defending yourselves then why does Islamabad over have writ over half the "sovereign territory"? One of those Elephant in the Room things?

Who is attacking Pakistan. You are spending your precious resources in bringing up Elephant (ARMY) and continue to remain poor.

@BRIJ MOHAN Pakistan has to increase its defence budget from 5 billion to 50 billion with immediate effect and slowly raise it to 500 billion in the next ten years.

@IKE : have think about yourself what contribution you made to the country before pointing fingers on others. My friend it is easy to shout, abuse, or make non sense remarks but to understand regional, international or domestic issues not so easy that you predicted NS complete failure.... he is Nawaz Sharif and you will see after 4 years our dear homeland will have big projects, no shortage of electricity, I guarantee. I advise all PTI naunahalan-e-inqulab to focus your performance in KPK which is ever worse in last 60 years, your govt completely failed even PTI cannot run a union council properly. I am living in KPK having interaction with almost 15-20 districts I have not seen your naya Pakistan anywhere. Don't abuse others perform.... street gathering is easy but difficult to manage governments..... some time back i was also sloganeering with IK but now come to the conclusion that he is unable to run govt.

Nawaz sharif always praise himself let people should do that, and kindly do justice with nation do finger verification in those four seats which PTI rather whole nation is demanding. Do justice with PCB post

Pakistan is capable of defending her from external threats.But from internal threat it is doubtful, as the home grown enemies are the biggest problem the government to address, and all moderate people should support their government irrespective of political, religious, provincial,creed and social differences.

@BRIJ MOHAN WE KNOW OUR ENEMIES VERY WELL, WE WATCH THEM DAY AND NITE

@SYED ADNAN SHAFQAT Can Mr Nawaz look beyond Lahore?

You should have said that in india

"A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves."

Then where were you when Americans landed in the heart of your city. Stop fooling people by tall claims.

The statement is only true for defending from Dengue mosquitos which Mr. Shahbaz Sharif himself seen pulling from tyres. Face the reality, we are not capable of any defence, when the time comes as it has during OBL operation we will once again blame on oir radars.

@Mohammad Iqbal TTP will rule you as long as you sit there like wimps. The big mustache and the siri-pies will thrive under any circumstances, hope you get my drift.

@weq You have said it my friend and said it good.

@weq I think we may not be capable of a solid defense, untill each and every Pakistani citizen is given a mandatory military training, and learn to defend his towns and cities himself ,in case of a war. Similar to Turkey and Israel. That way more than half of our civilian population would be soldiers ready to defend their country in any given time. I think this needs to be done, regardless of peace or war in the country.

Who is going to attack Pakistan? Historically it is Pakistan that attacked India.

I hope the very best for the two nuclear powers of the region as a result of this visit to be followed by Indian premier's visit to Pakistan. But, here what I am seriously stuck with is this "Yom-e Takbeer", would someone enlighten me about what that is. So far, I knew Bara wafaat, Eid-e Milaad, Eide-e Ba-asat, Eid-ul Adhaa, Eidul-Fitr, etc. etc. But, this "Yom-e Takbeer" I am totally unaware of.

@Sunil, Ignorance is bliss.

I am proud that we are winning the war on terror which many pundits predicted will eliminate Pakistan. From IRAQ WMD to 9/11 to OBL this history will tell where the fault was and who was the victorious. I am looking farwrd that next four years will add to economic strength of countary and peace but we need to be patient and work for country for systems rather street rallies and gatherings

We should talked sensibly.... Who created these terrorists, do you think Nawaz shrif did this thing ..when he was PM , the internal security situation was quite good... At that time powerful people used the guards just to show to their rivals as they were big but the present government got this internal security issue from the outgoing governments .... First nobody thought that this would become a acute problem but now we saw the water has already flown up and it is given a big loss to every institution ... It will take time to overcome as it is more related to mind which need consolations,therapies to recover...so be patient and don't expect that it can be solved overnight

@guddi haha with total reserve less than 10 billion..

Yes, Pakistan is fully capable of defending itself from the "invisible" enemy! The problem comes in, when we have to face the "visible" enemy - i.e. Talibans! There, we have a problem! We keep wasting millions on nuclear technology, which we cannot, unfortunately, use against our own people and in our own country. That nuclear power - will protect us from foreign invasion. In the meantime, we are being crushed by insurgents within our own country, making it easier for foreign countries, who don't like us, not to anything and yet achieving their objectives!

@guddi Wherefrom such money will come? From sale of Narcotics or begging from USA or by printing Fake Indian Currency or all of the three resorces. since tax collection is meagre. Other source is taking loan from SBP or by printing new Pakistani Currency.

@Nader Martens india is so powerful that it will crush pakistan do you ever thaught how many seacret projects are going in india to make army powerful there are 1000 of projects of deadliest missiles and aircraft....u will never know so dont dare to do..

@shafqat mir Yah, you didn't do such a good job in Abottbad!!

Defending from What? Drones!!

Why do Pakistani leaders periodically comfort their citizens that Pakistan is "fully capable of defending itself"? Is there anyone who wants to attack Pakistan -- I mean from the OUTSIDE? Rhetorical question, of course. Everyone knows why: to keep the chimera of an imagined Indian threat alive in the minds of the brain-washed citizenry, so the army can maintain its power and its wealth.

Pakistan fully capable of Defending but against whom? It has failed to defend and protect minorities in its own country. Just now 5 Hindu children have been abducted in Baluchistan. Now Pakistan is in the same league as Nigeria.Other day an Ahmedi Doctor was shot dead aimlessly. Every 2nd day Shias are getting killed than we talk about human rights of Kashmiris. What about the rights of Minorities in Pakistan?

@Gul Nawaz Khan Do you think Akbar Sani can think that much. He is the king of Lahore and that's all. Rest of the Pakistan can take care of itself.

@allaisa Very true and India is soooooooooooooooo innocent. Angels came and divided Pakistan into two. Remember the words of Nixon. " India whenever finds appropriate opportunity, it tries to weaken Pakistan."

This is a default speech by Nawaz Sharif --It came with a default package when he won the elections, so don't take it seriously --

Every time one hears that it sounds more hollow than the last time.........because the enemy is never clearly defined.

what about defending its citizens?

Mr. Prime Minister, simply slogans and inspiring speeches as you have been doing all the time, will not make Pakistan safe for this generation and future generation. Please do not make anymore inspiring speech until you have taken firm action to destroy the Taliban (all factions) and you have achieved this objective. You do not have to consult any politicians with vested interests who will be happy to bring down your government. You do not have to consult the fanatic Mullahs with vested interests who wish to become Amir, Khalifa, Qazee, Muftee, butcher, hang-man. Your best advisers and helpers are the commanders of Pakistan Army and Air Force and they will achieve your objectives by the Help of Allah, Insha Allah

@Sunil To keep countries like India scared to death

@guddi Do you know your GDP is not beyond 220 billion

Who celebrates testing nuke weapons - nobody but Pakistan. Tells you just how insecure you really are.

@Gul Nawaz Khan Lets hope; thats what we expect from our country's Prime Minister as the citizens of Pakistan ! Parliament which ultimately selects the PM, is the house of people representing all sorts of citizens irrespective of religions, race, communities and cultures ! We all stand under one flag and that is the flag of Pakistan. Your query is meaningful !

Defending from who? Who would want to attack and take over a nightmare?? India is extremely happy that all of the troublemakers took off (retreated) as part of the partition.

@IKE Lol so you think you know more about Pakistan Government then they know about themselves i bet those people talking against government can;t even win one mpa seat

Pakistan has flourished in all major areas of economy; inception of power projects to reduce loadshedding (in early 2013, the loadshedding was upto 22 hours), transport & communication revolution (3G &4G), massive reduction in suicide attacks (will be completely eliminated soon) and re-start of peace process with India are all the great achievements of PMLN Government. But still has a long way to go. Long Live Pakistan!

He did not have enough guts to say a word to defend Pakistani position in front of Modi and when back on Pakistani soil he is making tall claims of defending and trying to score points. Thanks to Media liberated by Musharraf that he cannot hide his debacle. People of Pakistan are not buying this any more. Within a span of one year he has proven beyond doubt that he cannot take decisions . He only knows and concentrates on projects where there is kickbacks or commission. Thanks to Imran and Sheikh Rasheed for exposing him

@Kidwai Pakistan had been doing this for the last sixty odd years. Indians have learnt this trick from Pakistan.

type failed nations in Google n see where u stand b4 making tall claims and pls dont argue world conspiring against Pakistan

@Sunil - Dude just disappear and stay on your side of the border, peace out :)

@Kidwai Do you believe in Nixon ? He was the only American President who was impeached and had to resign

@Sil the times of hand-to-hand combat are gone, my friend. You can arm all of Pakistan, but how will you prevent a missile attack or an air-attack
