Nawaz’s speech

Published September 27, 2020

NAWAZ Sharif’s speech at the multiparty conference polarised the political environment. After a long silence, Nawaz surprised everyone by what appeared to be his re-entry into politics with his anti-establishment speech, which successfully caught the attention of every Pakistani.

Nawaz had the courage to lash out at the establishment bravely. Very few dare to use such harsh words for the establishment. Being totally ignored by the establishment, Nawaz opted to pressure it.

To gather more support from the public, Nawaz must return to Pakistan and face the courts.
