OUSTED prime minister Nawaz Sharif on his way to Lahore in a speech at Murdikey said he would bring change and revolution in Pakistan. The same Nawaz Sharif criticised Imran Khan and Dr Tahirul Qadri when they used those terms in their speeches. The PTI’s famous slogan of ‘Naya Pakistan’ and Dr Qadri’s ‘Inqlaab’ are now being used by the PML-N leadership after their leader was disqualified by the Supreme Court.

Our politicians are hypocrites. When others say something, they make fun but later they adopt the same.

The person who remained in power for four years failed to bring any revolutionary changes. Now what can we except from him and what changes does he want to bring after his disqualification?

It is yet another trick to befool the people.
